A 43km day paddle from Carrick at the mouth of Fleet Bay to Kirkcudbright and return.
Dove Cave.
Keeping in line on the Solway.
No wonder the doves like it.
A lone watcher on the cliffs and a horrid murder.
The quest for a haddock of gargantuan proportions.
Danger on the Solway.
Tight ropes on Slack Heugh.

Danger on the Solway
From the quayside of Kirkcudbright we took the ebb tide back down the River Dee to Kirkcudbright Bay.
We passed the Gallovidian III which is the Range Boat for the Dundrennan firing range sea danger area that extends for 24x33km along the Solway coast to the SE of Kirkcudbright. Telephone contacts for the range are: 0141 224 8501 (Range Officer) or 0141 224 8502 (Guard House).

We now had a stiff paddle against an increasing ebb tide.

From Dove Cave we allowed the flood tide to propel us along an incredibly convoluted coast of upended greywacke strata.
The contrast with the open expanse of Wigtown Bay could not have been greater.
Near Borness Point we saw a lone figure who watched or progress along this apparently wild coast. Up on the cliff tops all is not so wild, it is a golf course!
There was superb rock hopping as we
