Maxwelton Church 20 Jan

With a gap in the poor weather, we decided to head to Shancastle to have a walk around the Loch. However, the closer we got to Thornhill there was still snow at the side of the road. At the car park entrance the snow prevented us from getting up the rise over the cattle grid so we quickly changed our destination to Maxwelton church.

There was a good depth of snow around the church but in the sunshine the views were encouraging us to take a wander (and a few photos).

The snow was crunchy under foot but the short walk around the loch and trees was just what we needed.

There were a few signs of spring but mostly frozen textures and snowscapes.
