There is no easy way to get from Berwick to Kirk Yetholm, or rather, there is, but it will cost you. I booked a taxi with Chris Hownam (Hownam Taxis, Google it) and he was there to meet me. This must be a great place to be a taxi driver.. empty roads, nice people, and no real competition from buses etc.
It has rained on and off today but it has been dry here in the Kirk. The b&b is comfortable and I had a lovely meal in the Border Hotel.
Both the previous times I've done the PW I was given a certificate and a free pint by the nice people in the Border Hotel and I was a bit worried about this time, starting from there. However they happily gave me a blank certificate for the pub in Edale to fill in, when I get there.
I will try to keep the updates going but it may be a couple of days before the next one, not much mobile coverage in the Cheviots.
For obvious reasons the photo gallery is a bit thin today but I do have a couple:
Chicken Balmoral at the Border Hotel.. whisky sauce and a bed of haggis mash. |
Whisky sauce and haggis mash. Nice!
