St Cuthbert’s Way Walk Day 2 would see us walking from Newton St Boswells to Jedfoot Bridge – a distance of about 15 miles. Having stayed at the Drybough Arms pub in Newton St Boswell, we were heading off to Jedfoot Bridge for our second day of the St Cuthbert’s Way walk. Unfortunately, Nicholl was not going to be able to join us on today’s walk, so we loaded our overnight stuff in the car and set off on my way….
St Cuthbert’s Way Day 1 would see us walking from Melrose to Newton St Boswells – a distance of about 3.5 miles. We had travelled up to Melrose on Saturday and stayed over so that we would be ready to start our St Cuthbert’s Way walk on the Sunday. We had booked the train to get there but certain health related issues meant that at the last minute we had a change of plan and drive up. It did mean…

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…
