Day 7 across the border to Kirk Yetholm

Details
Hits: 8593

It was dry in the morning, we headed up the B6341 in to a slight headwind, the terrain was still fairly 'undulating'. After we crossed the A1 we speeded up passing through fields and farms. We missed out Seahouses and went straight to Bamburgh for a tea and scone and a BCQ. Got away by 12 heading west through Belford to B6349. This was a very quiet road and not hilly until the last few approaching Wooler where the sun came out. Had lunch in a café. It was a lovely afternoon riding near the Bowmont Water to Kirk Yetholm. We arrived just before 5, even before the volunteer warden.

Got an early start, on the road by half 8. It was bright and dry and we had a tailwind. We headed over to Coldstream for a BCQ then headed down the River Tweed joining the NCN1 to Berwick. We arrived with two hours to spare before the train so we had time for lunch in a café. There was a pipe band playing and the streets were very busy.
