Day 40

We've reached Scotland! We arrived at the border just before 4.00. With minimal formalties we were able to cross without undue delay. Shortly after a farmer said hello and I uderstood him! Let's see what happens as we go further into Scotland. We're staying in Newcastleton and have now walked 616 miles since leaving Lands End . Last night at the Samson Inn in Gilsland I met, by chance, Colin Redman one of my Oxford business associates. Colin was with a group from Stratford Upon Avon exploring Hadrians Wall walks over the weekend. The group made a very generous donation to my Prince's Trust collecting tin - which was great. Tomorrow is another 20 mile day..

    Hi Dave and Andrew....
    Can it be we were so awful...Congrats in reching the Bonnie shores of Scotland...
    I am thinking of sending the whole team up for some serious thinking time...we were not good enough...again.
    Hope all goes well.....and here goes nothing in the play offs...
    Cheers

    Watched the Reading v Birmingham match. I probably wouldn't have done if it wasn't for you! Not too good, I'm afraid, but best of luck in the play-offs.
    Scotland at 4.00 you wrote. Was that 4.00am when the border passport control post was closed?
