A Few Times Across the Border

Jedburgh to Kelso - 14 May 2022 We have only been a few times across the border into Scotland in recent years.

Middleton-in-Teesdale to Bowes - 19 March 2022 These routes were originally planned as walk 7 on the 28th March 2020. Unfortunately, although we managed to do walk 6 to Alston the previous fortnight along came the pandemic and everything got cancelled.
