April 27, 2011 - trip to Biggar & New Lanark

Lanark, United Kingdom


Cesar and I had the day off today...WooHoo!! Slept in (as much as possible on a farm full of noisy roosters and ducks!!!) and then did another 10 Miles, at least, of walking.

After breakfast, Cesar and I walked the 2 Miles to Symington and caught the bus to Biggar (about 5.5 Miles from FeuField Farm). We explored Biggar, which is not so big, had some tea and cake at Aroma Cafe, and caught the bus to Lanark. Once in Lanark, we walked another 2 Miles into New Lanark to visit the World Heritage Centre, which was a cotton mill, village, and school built about 200 years ago...it is now a tourist attraction, hotel, and hostel. We hiked about a mile up the river path to the water fall and back and then returned to Lanark for some lunch and more roaming about. We then returned by bus to Symington and walked the 2 Miles back to the farm...and collapsed!

Back to work tomorrow, but I will have another day off on Friday...with the rest of the country for the Royal Wedding.

I took more photos today, including a great shot of a beautiful clydesdale horse in a Field on the way to Symington, but my camera was acting up and I lost about half of them :(
