St Cuthbert's way. Starting at Melrose Abbey at 16:30 and running through the night to Lindisfarne priory on Holy island. Ran with George for the whole way.
We had 2 pre prepared bags drops (Cessford castle and near Kirknewton) which included food, water and change of clothes. We then carried our own food and water in-between these.
Beautiful route. The only deviation I am aware of is near the end, the route does not detour to fenham but goes straight across a field and over the railway. The signpost directing St Cuthbert's way the route we took is visible on Google street view (fishers' back road), and is in keeping with the official statement Cuthbert website route:
