We set off from Ettrickbridge in fine weather but had persistent light rain after a couple of hours which lasted the rest of the day.
From Ettrickbridge we headed over the hills to the Gordon Arms Hotel and found once again that the tracks shown with confidence on the OS map probably haven't actually existed for the last 50 years or more. This made it very hard going so after reaching the Gordon Arms Hotel (closed) we elected to do the remaining two thirds of the journey on roads which was about 2 miles longer but much quicker.
In total, we've walked over 20 miles today - the third time in the last 4 days that we've walked that far.
Tomorrow is a rest day (the 5th of the journey) in Peebles.
