Just got back from a wee little birthday trip away! I'm 42 now. That's right, I am now the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

For my birthday we explored the Southern Uplands near Moffat, and boy were conditions glorious.

There's more photos from our time away, just go here and see what you think -> https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/4/27/southern-uplands-dumfriesshire-scotland-spring 👍

A lone walker with a backpack following a faint grassy path along the windswept slopes of Annanhead Hill, looking towards the dramatic, rugged western face of Great Hill along the Annandale Way near Moffat, Scotland, with a vast panorama of rolling hills stretching into the distance beneath a bright, cloud-streaked sky.

The dramatic scene of Grey Mare’s Tail near Moffat, where a tall, narrow waterfall cascades down a steep, rocky gorge surrounded by rugged, grass-covered hills, with a winding path snaking through the foreground and climbing towards the towering cliffs under a bright but partly clouded sky.

A dramatic view from Annanhead Hill above the Devil’s Beef Tub, looking towards the steep, rugged western face of Great Hill, its grassy slopes streaked with dark, weathered patches and illuminated by a soft, angled light, while distant hills, bathed in cooler tones, gently fade into the misty background.

A sweeping, sunlit landscape of the Devil's Beef Tub near Moffat, Scotland, with dramatic rolling hills casting long, deep shadows across the rugged valley; in the foreground, a solitary figure with long, curly blonde hair, wearing a white top, stands next to a weathered fence, gazing thoughtfully into the vast, serene expanse under a clear blue sky.
