I came across a sign in the middle of nowhere which announced on one side 'Welcome to Scottish Borders' and on the other 'Welcome to Dumfries and Galloway'.
Was this on the Southern Upland Way?
I assume that is what the little thistles on the posts meant. I followed it for a short while - until the depth of the snow became hard work.

Whilst I was there it occurred to me that there was a potential for a new ticklist - namely British and Irish Local Boundary Openings - which could lead to a rash of BILBO bagging.
Groan .. I hereby sentence you to 5 repeat ascents of Law Kneis. In Summer!
Is it worse than Mynnyd Nodol?
Oh yesss.... Not a good way, nice hobitses dont go up that hill, oh no. I know a better hill. This way, This way .....
Yes.. it is and was until recently guarded by a particularly unpleasant goml. The heather and bushwhacking is worse.

Whilst stumbling in this week's snow round the Ettrick Forest trying to increase my Donald and Marilyn count (still frustratingly short of the 400 target I had set myself for the end of 2003) I came across a sign in the middle of nowhere which announced on one side 'Welcome to Scottish Borders' and on the other 'Welcome to Dumfries and Galloway'. Next to it was a stile which provided a handy seat to sit and eat my lunch - the lunchbox in one county whilst I was eating the contents in another one.

Just so long as you do not need to sing the song "Ballad of BILBO bagging" in the style of Leonard Nimoy.. "BILBO......, BILBO....., the ballad of BILBO bagging!" while out BILBO bagging!
