john o'groats to lands end

Moffat turned out to be a really nice little town to visit, with its flowerbeds and neatly manicured park and pond it reminded me of the town of Matlock, which is the town I work in. We had our tea in a pub there, the name of which slips my mind but the food and the atmosphere were great. Our B+B was Marchbank wood house, a mile or so out of Moffat, it was an old manor house and it was a fantastic place to stay. The landlady was called Sally, she was very welcoming and couldn't do enough to help make our stay comfortable, she also donated £10 to our cause. There was also a resident collie dog called Meg who would play fetch all day with anyone she could find. The trip from Moffat to Penrith was nice, the weather was good and the going flat. Our route took us straight past the blacksmiths at Gretna Green, but it was just before that when we called it to a gift shop besides a pub called the mill, that the lady behind the counter donated £20 and gave us a postcard free, not long after this we crossed the boarder into England and had a peaceful run to Penrith where we stopped at the travelodge.
