Day 3 - Innerleithen to Galashiels

Good breakfast and off at 09.00 as planned (a first for us!) Ready for the 5K climb from Traquair to Minch Moor.

Managed to avoid the worst of the weather. As we walked we watched heavy rain all around us but only had a few very light showers to bother us - lucky or what! Must have been donning the waterproof trousers that did the trick!

Lots of climbing today - every time we thought that was finally it, another one popped up! Arrived in Galashiels feeling completely pooped but having sampled the delights of the Salmon Inn we are now feeling slightly better!

Not sure how we are going to manage tomorrow especially if the forecast snow (in May!) arrives but will keep you all posted.

A masseur right now would be heaven as we ache big time and our feet are starting to fall apart!
Love

    Hey, you're in my neck of the woods now! Love the photos - really good. I know a really good masseur... but that's no help. Thinking of you both. xx

  3. I like the art work at Traquair! By the time you get this you would have have finished Day 4! You are doing stirling work and hope feet (and knees!) are holding up. (Will you get this message I wonder? Don't know about Blogs or how they work. This could end up on Pluto for all I know! But what the heck, at least this old Luddite is trying!) Sx

  4. Lovely to keep updated with your progress and see the pix. Keep up the brilliant work and the (pain-free)walking! Not long 'til you finish and looks like you're in in terrific shape. Hoping the weather stays kind, too. Can't wait to hear all about your adventures. Lots of love, Helen xx
