fun sleeping in one of the old forts?
Nice, that's just reminded me to look out the sites of some of the hill forts that pepper the area.

Holy Island verboten for camping but I'd chance it in the dunes and claim tidal stranding. It is lovely.
See also Sandstone Way. Would love to ride that.

Hadrian's Wall and Sandstone Way and Holy Island not in the south east of the borders (if borders used in the sense of borders region) if borders is used to mean the actual border between England and Scotland then the wall is still quite distance in to England, and would need the land owners permission to pitch in those places(in theory)

By my reckoning Thowliestone Hill Fort is within about 1km of the halfway point between Edinburgh and Newcastle.

That's why I suggested it. Nothing but the best for our denizens.

Is the "John Leslie" the same as Leslie's Bar on Ratcliffe Terrace? Not far from The Bike Station?
(Iain McR - message recieved. Will get back to you.)

@Fimm - yes: Google Streetview shows it's called the John Leslie, presumably after the Blue Peter and Wheel of Fortune presenter.

Different John Leslie. Estb 1896? that is what the sign says. But the pub is known as Leslie's. So you are both right
Posted 5 years ago # -
there's only one John Leslie!
Posted 5 years ago # -
Anyway. That's the right pub. Mr fimm can make it. Not sure if I can, but you don't really need me...
Posted 5 years ago # -
you don't really need me...
Hey, come on. Stay for one?

I have to pack for the weekend. Also getting somewhere at 7pm is more problematic for me. On the other hand, if CCE's very own Forum Author is going to be there...

Just noticed the last bit from Peebles is the opposite of the exploration trip I did a couple of years ago.
If you see my badgers at Romano Bridge say hello for me.

You have personal badgers?
Posted 5 years ago # -
If we could all swap our personal demons for personal badgers things might go better.
Badgers change their bedding very frequently I learned latterly.

Doesn't everyone, how do you get alerted when there are axe murders around if you don't have a badger patrol!
