  1. Cross Borders Drove Road Day 4

    Ashkirk Hill to Hawick (6 mi / 10 km) Day 4 location Day 4 map <<< >>> Having fallen asleep to the echo of traffic nearby, I woke up to an even more terrifying sound in the form of water dripping from the trees onto my tent. For a brief moment whilst packing for this trip, I had considered leaving my waterproofs at home whilst looking at the fine forecast. Feeling rather smug for doubting the wisdom of the meteorologists, I prepared to wrap myself up with my coat, only to discover that […]

  2. Cross Borders Drove Road Day 3

    Pipers Knowe to Ashkirk Hill (14.5 mi / 23.5 km) Day 3 location Day 3 map <<< >>> Compared to yesterday, I had a much shorter day ahead of me with only half the amount of ascent involved as I head towards the shorter hill in the southern Scottish Borders. Of course, I was still perched upon one of them in a felled area in Pipers Knowe, which I was in no particular rush to leave at all. Slowly recovering from my previous exertions, I merely opened up my doors to let in as much cool air as […]

  3. Cross Borders Drove Road Day 2

    Fingland Burn to Pipers Knowe (18.5 mi / 30 km) Day 2 location Day 2 map <<< >>> The farmers didn’t show up again during the night, so I was left alone to sleep well in my spot beside the gate in their field. Not wishing to test their generosity any further, I started to pack up early enough in the morning that they were yet to complete their rounds again. My tent had a little condensation inside due to there being barely any breeze, but it wasn't too wet by the time that I had shoved […]

  4. Cross Borders Drove Road Day 1

    Kirknewton to Fingland Burn (18 mi / 29 km) Day 1 location Day 1 map <<< >>> Having become rather used to the uncomfortable sleeper train over the last few years, I managed to snooze better than anticipated, albeit in an interrupted fashion. Despite boarding being slightly delayed the previous night, it arrived ahead of schedule in Edinburgh in the morning. Unfortunately, this wasn't of much use to me due as there wasn't an earlier train for me to catch to continue my journey. After […]

  5. Cross Borders Drove Road Prologue

    Getting there Prologue location Prologue map <<< >>> Another three weeks had passed since my latest trail, so it was time to head off for another in the pattern that I had established for my walking season. During that time, I had only picked up a few hours at the nursery due to not many children attending during the summer holidays. Thankfully, this wasn't entirely unexpected for me, so I had already accounted for a reduced income in my expenses. Rather than going out to spend money on […]

  6. Tweed Valley. A good place to hide from the wind! Must remember to get some new waterproof shorts though, since my last ones fell apart a while back. Any good recommendations? #mountainbiking #glentress #innerleithen #tweedvalley
