We left late in the morning and headed back to Ayr, only three miles, it seems that everything around Ayr is three miles away even if it is ten miles away, anyway, we headed out east on the A70 which is a peaked road running across the lowlands towards Cumnock. We stopped for a brew and chat with the locals before heading south again alongside the River Nith to Dumfries. From Dumfries we endured the rain and diverted to Lochmaben near Lockerbie where we camped for the night.
