From England past the border to Scotland

Having had plenty of paddling excitement over the last few days Richard left us today leaving just Ron and I to get on with things. Forcasts had looked a little suspect but the best of the weather would be in the morning. Ron and I set off early to paddle from Berwick upon Tweed along the coast to Eyemouth beyond the Scottish border.

Shortly after leaving Berwick the coastline becomes steep and lined with beautiful red sandstone cliffs.

As we paddled further the cliffs became taller and more dramatic with deep caves.

Another characteristic of this section of coastline is the extensive wave cut platforms which are a delight for rock hopping. The local wildlife looked on with interest.

Upon completion of our voyage from England to Scotland we awarded ourselves a 'fish and chips' supper from a shop within 50 yards of where we landed.

This is the final report from the Northumbrian coast for now. Ron has to go back to work and I'm happy to return home a day early. This trip has been wonderful and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Ron and Richard for their company through the week. Thanks are also due to Ollie Jay from Active4Seasons for his company on the Tweed Estuary and for his invaluable local knowledge.
