From the car park at Stobo Village Hall we will follow wooded tracks up to a sheltered man made lochan in a side valley of the River Tweed taking time to pause and soak in the season. This place is often sheltered from the wind and offers deep water to swim, play and float in surrounded by hills and trees.

After our swim we'll share lunch and a wild foraged kelly kettle tea before returning to our starting point via a different route with expansive views across the Tweed Valley.

Total walking distance 4.6 miles or 7.5 km.
