The Grey Mare's Tail (Borders)
 29th July 1999  The Borders range of mountains is largely the featureless sort of big hill area that gives you the advantages of solitude, but which makes me yearn for the occasional crag. The area above the Grey Mare's Tail (NT184147) north-east of Moffat is a wonderful exception. In a way it is a cheat calling this photo the Grey Mare's Tail, because the waterfall of that name is actually round the corner.  But I thought you might like to see the start of the walk to the mountains beyond, where the paths lead along the right-hand side of the valley.
