Day 13. Wednesday, 16th April 2014. Lauder to Ellemford. 20 miles. Another early start ahead of a big day's walk. Left yet another excellent B&B at 8.30. Quickly re-joined the SUW and soon found myself in parkland of Thirlestane Castle. The usual uphill aspect of the early going found me crossing the Lammermuir Hills. A grand name for an upland featureless moorland. Tedium par excellence. The only good thing was the good condition of the path which enabled me to traverse this dull area as quickly as possible. Some small relief was the approach to the Watch Water reservoir. Beyond the ressie the path eventually lead to Longformacus, an attractive hamlet where some walkers stop for the night. I, however, continued on for a further 4 miles passing close to one of the smaller wind farms in the area. A pleasant riverside walk, off the SUW, brought me to tonight's riverside accommodation. I've just had a three course dinner and am now finishing a nice bottle of red. Just one shortish 13 mile day tomorrow will see me on the east coast and journey's end. Weather. In contrast to yesterday, today matched the terrain, dull. It was at least dry but overcast all day and quite chilly up on the moorland. Poll latest.
