Amazing what you can do with photoshop.
But I was up in D&G years ago when it got so hot the local ladies took their cagoules off. Not a pretty sight.

Thank you for providing an aperitif for our forthcoming trip loosely using the NC500 with various overnight halts on campsites, park ups and the Scottish versions of aire du camping car, in our MotorHome. The Kelpies and Falls of Lora (decades since paddling there) are on the pop in list.
122 miles back to Home in York
Under this viaduct
Road from Faugh more like a track but we had a guide!
Then his mates turned up
Into Northumberland
Alston, over the tops
down into Teesdale, County Durham, Barnard Castle
And home
