Back on the Tweed for the last section of the walk. A perfect day in excellent weather and in good company.
Two thirds of our way through the walk we stopped for lunch in Marmions Bistro in Melrose and enjoyed a lovely meal. We then headed back to Tweedbank Station passing The Greenyards on the way, the home of Melrose RFC and looking in splendid condition ready for the annual 7s tournament in just over a weeks time.
The Chain Link bridge from the path.
Back across the Tweed and this time on the Chain Link bridge
More Rape Seed oil crop
The highest point of the walk with fine views over the Tweed valley
Hawthorn Blossom with Rape Seed Oil in the field.
It was all uphill on this section
This section of the walk is on the Southern Upland Way and the Border Abbey's Way
Everywhere we went there was Hawthorn Blossom
The Last of the Summer Wine Walkers, Tom, Niall, John, and Ken.
The river Tweed near Tweedbank Station and the start of our 5 mile walk. Tom, Niall, and myself met John and Ken off the Edinburgh train at the station and set out on this 5 mile walk. Unfortunately Martin was unable to join us as he woke this morning with a heavy cold and decided it would be better to stay at home and recover. The river is low but I have seen it lower in the past.
