A lovely sky and just outside the cottage there is a woodland tunnel. We have put 15 bat boxes in the trees around it, and I hope they have contributed to the enormous number of bats, mainly pipistrelles I think, but maybe the odd nocturne, over our heads as we walked.

Starting and finishing St B, along Leaderwater, crossing the river at Dryburgh Abbey, and then the Tweed on the way back to get to the start point.
