From the front line....drove up with several friends in 3 vehicles Monday lunchtime in order to complete the final 65 miles of the Southern Upland Way over 4 days.
Monday late afternoon a quick warm up 6 mile circuit of the Eildon Hills from Melrose.
No alcohol drinking inside bars, hotels, restaurants, but being served outside.
Meals being served inside, but tables have to be vacated by 8 (ish). Unless you are a resident, when for the past 4 nights we sat down to eat at 7:15 in the places we were staying and were still there a few hours later. I won’t name names just in case.
We were served at the bar and could take alcohol to our rooms.
Arrived on the E coast today...ate in a pub 7 pm, but didn’t leave until 8:30. No alcohol but no rush to get us out.
Back to our B & B where mine host was happy to let us consume our own beer & wine post dinner in the lounge.
The next two days we’ll be walking the Berwickshire Coast Path, about 35 miles, before driving home Sunday evening.
Happy to give recommendations re our accommodation en route..email me.
Cold, bitterly so at times when exposed on high ground, mixed weather, rain, hill fog, sleet, hail, but odd sunny spells and glorious this afternoon.
