After coming down with food poisoning the second day of our trip, I unfortunately was not able to join in 100% for our hike up Grey Mare’s Tail in Moffat, Scotland. Consequently, I joined a smaller group who travelled back into town to spend time at a local coffee shop. The roads back into town […]
