Day 65 Garlieston to Newton Stewart 39mls

After a wet and windy night (and that was just inside the van!), we drove through Newton Stewart on our way to Glentrool Forest. Newton Stewart seems to have a few more shops than we have seen recently. Did the blue mountain bike trail, 9km, which was great fun. After climbing to the top of the forest the swooping track back down was brilliant. Ross managed to throw himself into a rock just as we arrived back in the car park. Only winded, no bruises showing yet.
After a bacon and egg sarnie we set off with the Taz for a sedate walk round the forest. Within half a mile it started lashing down, so by the time we got back we were soaked. Yet another set of clothes for the laundry!
Stopping the night at a CL in Newton S, just a few hundred yards from the high street. We are the only people in what is someones back garden! Its only £7.50 a night!
