To Falstone
Today's ride, originally bound for Bellingham, was cut short by severe weather conditions that started midday, soon after our visit of Jedburgh Abbey - the most commercially developed of the four.
Rains started softly, becoming colder and more unpleasant as we approached the border in a very stiff headwind. After enduring a brief hailstorm, we resolved to stop at the first lodging we encountered. Drowned rats, we pulled in gratefully at Blackcock Inn, in the hamlet of Falstone, by Kielderwater.
Today's ride: 55 miles (89 km)
Total: 115 miles (185 km)
