    Hi Ally, couldn’t believe seeing you in my Bonnie Border Hills , we have just been up there today ,did it the opposite way,and missed White Coomb this time, not as much blue sky for us but no rain and very windy. Quite boggy in bits. Thank you for sharing your day in the Borders.😊🥾

      Hi Janice i really enjoyed this one was on my to do list for a long time and with the weather being rotten up north it gave me the opportunity to head down the way. its a beautiful place and lots of colours with the heathers in full bloom the waterfall and the loch are stunning even the boggy paths couldn't put this place down and there's loads of hill could be a good place for some winter walks as not to far to travel.

      Was a cracker Brian after watching you video I had to go do it as it had so much with the waterfall the loch and the corbett and the Donald was a great day and not a long one . Took the dampener of not getting to torridon as was really looking forward to that mate. Atb Ally 👍

    Nice walk that Ally - been in Moffat a few times but never hiked about...looks great up there nice wee circuit with a cracking loch and waterfall. Aye that's what this year has become, need to check the forecast and maps and head where you have a chance of avoiding the worst weather and just adjust your plans as you go. 👍👍

      Thanks Dave what a place and there is some cracking camping spots up there next to the loch would be good for the fishing, its a great walk nothing to taxing i found it great when up top quite flat was great to just stroll along listening to beluga 😂but was a great plan b as you said Dave we need about 5 different plans when planning in Scotland with this weather.

    It's a stunning area, often dismissed by the "Munro" types, but it offers great walking without the Munro hoards. I have spent a large part of my life walking the Border hills and completed all the Donalds.

      Hi Dave I really enjoyed this walk and the waterfall was brilliant it opened my eyes to what the southern area of Scotland has to offer and would be good for some shorter winter days out aswell will definitely be doing more walks on these hills. ATB ALLY 👍

    Great video, Ally and some very nice drone footage. I noticed you followed the Walkhighlands route but the opposite way round. Did I miss you crossing the burn above the waterfall or did you not film it? I was up there back in April when I arrived in Scotland for my spring trip. Skye and I walked up to and along the loch, a very muddy walk back then. I was sort of planning to include the Corbett but didn't find it safe to cross the burn as it was quite fast running. Also the fact is that my dog, even being a retriever, is scared of water 😳😉ATB Karl from Denmark

      Hi Karl thanks again for following along stunning place, i crossed the river a wee bit further up from the waterfall not the easiest of crossing but got across , the paths weren't the greatest really boggy lower down but better up top . on the way down it was getting really busy so was glad i set of early beat the crowds.

      @@Allysmountainwalks6462 Aye it was quite busy back in April as well. And being my first hillwalk of the year, I must admit I struggled a bit. Meeting a lot of folks coming down, who all had to stop a pet my dog, gave me a moment to catch my breath 😉Thanks for the advice on crossing the water, I guess it'll all depend on the conditions of the day. But I think your aprroach of getting the crossing done at the start was the better one. You wouldn't want to walk all the way round and then realise there's no safe crossing. ATB Karl.😃
