3rd

Today we visited Melrose, I took some drone shots of the Abbey.

We stopped by Leaderfoot.

Returning to Ancrum after shopping at Morrisons in Earlsdon.

2nd

The video, which I shot along the Eildon Hills, will be posted to my YouTube channel later tonight. The trip started at Bowden Kirk and ended at the Ryhmer stone. Bowden was friendly, and the Kirk was warm. Climbed the first hill via a steep shale path that passed heather and gorse. I walked the third hill, purposely avoiding the second. My feet were strained during the descent. Charlie arrived and took me to Ancrum after the Rhymer stone.

The longer I remained on the hill, the more animosity surged.⁣

Reminded me of the Iolo Morganwg stone on Primrose Hill, London.

Someone followed us too closely. I told Charlie that this happens to me when I go somewhere I don't expect to. This movie most likely won't be sequenced until 9 p.m., and it will take at least an hour to upload after that. I edit these movies on my iPad, which is at Woodburn Farmhouse while I'm in Ancrum. It will take many long hikes to get my health back, but I am determined.
