| In January 2016 we attempted this walk but after many discussions on the route we managed to go in the wrong direction. Peter was most annoyed over this and a week after he and Elizabeth explored the walk again to see where we went wrong. We therefore decided today to have another go at it and Peter was confident we would be fine. The walk is shown as 6.5 miles but we measured it today and it was about 9 miles. The above photo is at the Museum in Wilton Park at the start of our walk. |

 |
| There are loads of wild flowers on the road sides |
 |
| The Eildons at Melrose often show up in our Border walks and today was no exception |
 |
| This was a very boggy part of the walk |
 |
| A bleak landscape but plenty of wildlife about including several Deer and the constant song of the Skylark |

| A great view of a field of Barley |

| It was at this signpost at the mid part of the walk where we went wrong 18 months ago |
 |
| About 6 miles into the walk Niall had problems with his boot but Tom came to the rescue with a ball of tangled string in his rucksack |
 |
| On the last stretch of the walk we met this Border Collie and Peter threw its ball for it and from then on he continually brought the ball back to throw it again |
