29 July 2023 Andy

We had finished Anglo-Scottish Border Day 4 at Beal. Anglo-Scottish Day 5 would be our final day of cycling. Our aim was to pop over to Holy Island before cycling up the Northumberland coast and finishing at Berwick-upon-Tweed. We left Lindisfarne Inn at Beal on a fine cloudy morning.

Mention the Scottish Borders and we picture big spaces: heather-clad hills, hundreds of square miles of forests and woodland, lochs and rivers. Of course, wherever trees and hills abound, then cyclists and mountain bikers won‘t be far away; some of the best cycling…
