Day 5 - Lauder to Longformacus

After a fab breakfast at Lornebank B&B (a great start to the day!), we picked up our lunch from the Flat Cat Gallery (yummy baguettes with salad, olives and crisps!).

The forecast for today on the BBC was really good but as usual it was wrong! We started with perfect blue skies (and a rather cold wind) but it all went a bit pear shaped although luckily not much rain. Lots of remote moorland scenery today quite different from previous days but still beautiful. 

Can’t believe it’s (hopefully) our last days walking tomorrow although we have a very long day and the weather forecast isn’t great. We are just getting the hang of it!!

Thanks to every one for their comments on here, it has really helped us along the way, and special thanks to Niki for keeping the blog up to date

    Hey! Mini banner!! The first photo looks like a very inviting mountain biking track... You're both doing so well and it's lovely to be able to follow your progress. See you soon. xx

  2. Only 18 miles to go? And, 82 miles walked! Or perhaps you don't want to think about those? Glad to hear the feet are holding out. Sounds as if you've been having a blast. Enjoying the blog and the pics - keep them coming. No doubt your lunch from the Flat Cat was good- it's a super place. Anyway, hope you enjoy the last 18 miles - it should be a doddle to experienced long-distance walkers like you two! Take care. Helen xx PS Hope you don't have weather we had in Carrbridge this am!
