St Cuthbert’s Way Coast-to-Coast Day 7 – Lindisfarne to Berwick-upon-Tweed

Having reached Lindisfarne on St Cuthbert’s Way Coast-to-Coast Day 6, Andy and I still had more cycling to do. St Cuthbert’s Way Coast-to-Coast Day 7 we had to cycle from Lindisfarne to Berwick-upon-Tweed in order to catch a train home. As it had been for most of the week, it was another gloriously sunny day, even if it was a bit windy. For a final time, we crossed the causeway. Then picked up the coastal path and NCN route 1….

St Cuthbert’s Way Coast-to-Coast Day 6 – Beal to Lindisfarne

Our St Cuthbert’s Way Coast-to-Coast Day 5 may have brought us to Beal and the coast. Our St Cuthbert’s Way Coast-to-Coast Day 6 would see us cycle on to Holy Island as we cycled from Beal to Lindisfarne. That journey however is only a few miles. So, once again we plotted a circuitous route. Andy and I began by leaving the walkers at The Lindisfarne Inn as they set off on the last leg of their journey and walked on…

Having completed St Cuthbert’s Way Coast-to-Coast Day 4 and enjoyed the meal celebrating Nicholl’s birthday yesterday, St Cuthbert’s Way Coast-to-Coast Day 5 would now see us cycle from Wooler to Beal. It was another fine sunny day. The distance between Wooler and Beal is relatively short. So, instead, we had plotted a longer more circuitous route between the two.  We quickly picked up Andy S’s favourite cycle route, NCN Route 68, the Pennine Cycleway. After a few miles we reached…

St Cuthbert’s Way Coast-to-Coast Day 3 completed. Now, on St Cuthbert’s Way Coast-to-Coast Day 4 we were cycling from Jedburgh to Wooler. It was once again a fine day when we left Airenlea B&B.

St Cuthbert’s Way Coast-to-Coast Day 3 – Melrose to Jedburgh

St Cuthbert’s Way Coast-to-Coast Day 2 had been a tough day, so we were hoping for a slightly less challenging day of cycling on our St Cuthbert’s Way Coast-to-Coast Day 3 route from Melrose to Jedburgh. First, however, we took a bit of time out and visited Priorwood Gardens. We had been here before on our Coast and Castles South tour and enjoyed the visit. It was a peaceful start to the morning. Across the road from Priorwood Gardens is…
