Byrness to Jedburgh

Weather today: Heavy Rain am, Dry pm

Daily Miles Covered: 18.20

Total Miles Covered: 676.50

Things of Interest: Border Crossing into Scotland, Dere Street (old Roman road)

Personal Comments: Had two guest walkers today, Kevin O'Brien (Obby) and his wife Elma. They are up in the Borders for a few days on hol. We finally left the Pennine Way today having crossed the border into bonnie Scotland. Weather was dire on the tops but improved later.
We followed an old Roman road called Dere Street which took us over the Cheviot Hills on route to Jedbourgh.
Great scenery and plenty of climbing - ask Elma!
Now in Scotland, we will try and place blogs as often as possible but on some days, we will be unable to post anything due to no internet connection facilities, especially in remote areas.
Be assured we will keep trying to give all details of this "thrilling adventure!"
With England now behind us, we take on the challenge of Scotland! - somebody told me it was flat! Don't think so!!
