Scotland. White Coomb & Grey Mare's Tail Waterfall, Southern Uplands 17th Sep 2020

[@DesGreene]

Hi Eddie. Just researching a trip to do this walk some time soon, and found your video. You've definitely sold it! What a stunning hike! Thanks, and all the best👍👍

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Hi Des, thanks. It is a great walk with stunning views. A couple of things to be aware of though. The ground is very boggy on the section between Loch Skeen and the start of the climb up to Loch Craig Head and you have to cross the Tail Burn on the return section. I have marked them on the map in the video intro. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take Care. Cheers. Eddie.

@@eddiecaisley5746 Thanks Eddie! Will wait for a slightly drier period👍 ....and probably get eaten by midgies instead 😁

[@JohnKirkup]

Excellent video, what a stunning place perfect weather, nice and quiet too.

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Thanks John. Another cracking day, great weather & great views! We spent a couple of days walking in the Moffat Hills, staying in a B& B up there and had a great time. An area we definitely want to go back to. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

Fantastic walk and video Eddie. Another one for my never-ending list!

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Thanks Alan. This one is definitely worth doing, a bit boggy in places but still a great walk. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

Wow incredible waterfalls and the place in Surroundings are amazing, you filmed it’s really well my friend

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Thank you. It was a really good walk, with great views all the way. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Ohhh those steps brought back memories of last week but a cracking waterfall mind. The path looked better at Loch Skeen and it looked a real nice place and what a place to stop for coffee. The views back down to the Lock were amazing and well worth the walk further on up. Good to see it kept dry for you and also people free as well, looked like there was nobody about for miles, great day out, cheers Alan

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Thanks Alan, it was a cracking day. I think we only saw two people all day, it was really quiet. The path going up past the waterfall was quite steep in places, but not as bad as your adventure last week up to Red Pike! Loch Skeen was really nice and well worth the effort going up to Lochcraig Head to get the views looking down to the Loch. Thanks for watching & commenting Alan, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

All looks brilliant Eddie. A fantastic walk in fantastic weather. Many thanks for sharing.

Thanks Jon. We had a great day. It was a great walk with some superb views. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Cheers. Eddie.

[@unowhotravelchannel]

Wow Eddie, a stunning hike and great filming! Loved seeing all the waterfalls and the loch was just something else, incredible! I think we need to get back to Scotland sometime and do some exploring😎👍

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Thanks Simon & Elaine. We spent a couple of days walking in the Moffat Hills in Southern Scotland and really enjoyed it. This was a great walk with superb views. Loch Skeen is a beautiful place and it was worth the effort climbing up to Lochcraig Head to get the views looking down to the Loch. We certainly plan to do more walking in the Moffat Hills and further up into Scotland. Thanks again for watching & for the kind comments, it is appreciated. Cheers. Eddie.

Best MTB spot in the borders makes you think you've arrived up in the highlands when you pass the top of the waterfall arriving at the bottom of loch skeen is nice too great video mine are always shake'y on the bike😂

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Yes it is a great spot, I would imagine it would be great for Mountain Bikes. A superb area and one we would definitely visit again. Thanks for watching & for the kind comments, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

[@crazymtbrider]

@@eddiecaisley5746 there's another walk you would like further towards moffat as well there's a cluster of houses at the bottom of the valley couple miles past grey mare's tail and the path is on the right hand side of the valley a little less know of so paths is a bit faint but well worth a look👍

[@eddiecaisley5746]

@@crazymtbrider Hi, we did another walk around that area you have mentioned. It was the Hart Fell Horseshoe. I remember it being really steep at the start of the walk heading up to Hart Fell, we came down the other side of the valley over Saddle Yoke. A great walk which I did film, but I was not happy with the footage. We stayed in Moffatt for a couple of nights. We really enjoyed the area and will definitely go back when all this Covid BS is finished. Cheers. Eddie.

[@crazymtbrider]

@@eddiecaisley5746 yip thats it I couldn't remember the name - tell me about it I've not been out their since the bs started used to be out there every weekend well if you see a dafty on a MTB it's prob me 😂

[@eddiecaisley5746]

@@crazymtbrider I will keep an eye out for you zooming past us! Best Wishes to you for 2022, let's hope we can get on with things, without restrictions next year!

[@anthonypayne1]

Simply stunning Eddie! Loved the shots looking back down the waterfall and looking down on the Loch too. Looks like you had the place to yourself, another cracking hike!👍👍👍

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Thanks Anthony, it was a cracking day with some superb views. First time we have been up there, it was really quiet. A great place to get away from it all. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

[@BeCCaWhere2GoNext]

Wow! that is stunning waterfalls! love it! and the beautiful lake, very serene and relaxing looking! Heard your channel from Alan Metalman, i really enjoyed watching your upload! just subscribed+ for more, looking forward to following your adventures! Hope to see you around, Cheers!

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Thank you for the kind comments Becca ( and for the sub, I have done likewise) This was a superb walk with great views all the way. I will be taking a look at your adventures. Thanks for watching & commenting it is appreciated. Cheers. Eddie.

[@davidburgess9058]

Another super video Eddie with amazing views. The waterfall and loch looked lovely. Who doesn't like the sound of water falls or water lapping into the lake shore? Did your recommended Newlands anti-clockwise round yesterday. Fabulous! Although I found Robinson a little bit tricky near the top. Your video's are very informative. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see what you get up to next. Cheers David

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Thanks David. This was a great walk, although a bit boggy in places! The views were superb and we were lucky with the weather. We spent a couple of days walking in the Moffat Hills in Southern Scotland and really enjoyed it. Pleased you did the Newlands round, that walk has some great views. Thanks again for watching & for the kind comments, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

[@stephenrobinson7197]

On my to do list spring next year 👍

[@eddiecaisley5746]

It a really good walk with great views, but be prepared for the boggy bits! Thanks for watching & commenting Stephen, it is appreciated. Cheers. Eddie.

[@jasongrozier8277]

Great walk,can I ask how long the walk took you to do,I'm looking at driving up from Yorkshire In the morning it's a 3 hour drive from my house to the car park

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Hi Jason, it is a really good walk. There is a boggy section when you head towards Lochcraig Head from Loch Skeen, but other than that, it is superb. I would say it would take around 6 to 6 and a half hours to do the walk. It takes me longer due to the filming etc. It is a stunning area to walk in and would certainly like to do more walks in that area. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

[@jasongrozier8277]

Finally managed to get this round done yesterday,slept in the camper van and set off at 7.30am had the whole loop to myself,until joining the path back over the stream,got back to van at 12, cracking walk and a real beautiful place! Cheers for the video mate

Thank you. It is a stunning place and a great walk. Thanks for watching. Cheers. Eddie.

[@ashleyjarnold]

Great to see you made an incursion across the border! Great walk and video again. Quite similar to the Lake District but different and also different to typical Scottish highland walks. It was still quite high and the waterfall and Loch were stunning. I might have asked you before but are you using a gopro? The quality of your photos and videos is first class. Regards, Ashley

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Thanks Ashley, it was a great walk with great weather and superb views. The paths were a bit rough in places ( a bit like your walks in the Mourne Mountains) but we really enjoyed it. We spent two days up there, staying in a B&B. I use a Go Pro Hero 8 for the video and a Nikon DSLR Camera for the photos. Thanks for watching & for the kind comments, it is appreciated. Cheers. Eddie.

[@ashleyjarnold]

@@eddiecaisley5746 I think i will check out the gopro. We have 2 great cameras for photos, big Canon 70d and the handy powershot, but I have been thinking of upgrading the Sony camcorder for some time. Great you got a break, Scotland is so handy to you. Regards, Ashley

[@eddiecaisley5746]

@@ashleyjarnold The GoPro Hero 9 has just been released. Not sure what the differences are from the Hero 8. They seem to release a new version each year. Yes, where we were in Scotland was the same distance from where we live as the Lake District, so it is really handy to have that choice of places to go. Cheers. Eddie.
