Sign post on St Cuthbert’s Way, Scottish Borders. “St. Cuthbert's Way Wideopen Hill 1207ft/368m This is the highest point of the Way and also the halfway point between Melrose and Lindisfarne.” Strictly, the summit of Wideopen Hill is _not_ the halfway point of St Cuthbert’s Way, which is at Kirk Yetholm.

Walking #StCuthbertsWay, Melrose, Scottish Birders to Holy Island, Northumberland.
Despite the claim on the notice, Wideopen Hill is _not_ the midway point of the walk (although the summit is the highest point).

We went across the path early!
I’m not sure how dry it gets at the lowest tide, but it was still quite splashy for us in places.

The trains are fast and frequent. We saw several as we walked along beside the track.

Also today, as well as crossing the A1, we had to go over the East Coast main line.
There is actually a level crossing, but you have to phone and get permission, so we cheated and walked a few hundred metres up the road to go over the bridge!

Montage of pictures of man in blue cagoule, some Guiness and a half of San Miguel, plus notices saying we’re past the half way point to Lindisfarne.
Two days out of five done and we’re past the half way point in St Cuthbert’s Way.
@galleonskip.bsky.social had a Guiness to celebrate!
Tomorrow we head across the border and deep into the Cheviot hills over to Wooler.

Day zero of our St Cuthbert’s Way walk.
We’re acclimatising. So far, it’s even pegging between the km walked and the ice cream scoops consumed.
Tomorrow we walk to Harestanes. Dinner with friends here tonight on what might be called our Borders reunion tour.
