St Cuthbert’s Way Pilgrimage
Day Four - Morebattle to Kirk Yetholm
(Approx 6 miles)
From Morebattle, we walked along a road called Sibbald’s Path, and then across Kale Water via a footbridge.
Good to pause from time to time to catch one’s breath and take in the awesome beauty of God’s creation.
The higher you go, the more breathtaking the views!
Yes, this is it! The halfway point!
We heard quite a few skylarks up in the hills but saw very little other wildlife other than this ladybird sheltering from the wind under the steps of a style we climbed over.
This is just before it becomes excitingly steep! I wouldn’t like to tackle this bit in the rain.
After the bleakness and wind on the top of the hills, coming down into the valley felt warm and lusciously verdant.
We rested our weary feet by Bowmont Water and shared a flask of tea.
