To Jedburgh

We had a great breakfast with waffles and bacon as the special. We started our walk by leaving Melrose via the Abbey and heading up to the Eildon Hills. We decided to take a little side trip up top of Eildon Mid Hill where there were great views all around. Then we continued on. The trail was a mix today of every condition, including a lot of mud and wet puddles. We got to St Boswell’s and had lunch there at a bookshop with a café which was really nice. Then we carried on to Harestanes. We walked for a long time down a rough path over an old Roman road called Dere Street. It runs straight as an arrow for 8 km or so. There we called for a taxi to take us to our Inn in Jedburgh (6 km off the track). We had dinner at Carter’s Retreat under the Jedburgh Abbey ruins. Tomorrow is a longer day of about 30 km.Baca selengkapnya
