Walking St. Cuthbert's Way
St. Cuthbert’s Way is a verdant and inspiring 62-mile hiking path from Melrose in the Borders region of Scotland to Lindisfarne (Holy Island) on the coast of North East England.
In the year 665 the Scottish monk Cuthbert made a pilgrimage from Melrose to Lindisfarne where he joined a remote priory, or church, in the Kingdom of Northumberland. When he died about 20 years later, he was much loved and revered, had been made the Bishop of the priory, had traveled widely to spread the Gospel, but had decided to return to be a lowly monk and recluse on an island.
By 400 years later the cult of the charismatic Saint Cuthbert was significant enough to have decisively influenced the full establishment of Christianity in England.
Saint Cuthbert’s Way follows in his footsteps.

The complete St. Cuthbert's Way ©
This is a 62 mile (100km) walk from Melrose in the Scottish Borders to Holy Island (or Lindisfarne) off the Northumbrian coast. It forms part of the European E2 route and was created in 1996 to commemorate the life of Saint Cuthbert who lived and worked in the borders. I walked the route in 4.5 days staying over at Melrose, Jedfoot, Kirk Yetholm, Wooler and Fenwick. I had all four seasons in terms of weather during the walk. For information I used the Cicerone guide to this route and the Harvey strip map.
Wikipedia describes Cuthbert as a 7th century saint and native of the Borders who spent his life in the service of the church. He began his work at Melrose Abbey. He achieved the status of Bishop, and when he died he was buried on Holy Island. He was called a saint eleven years after his death, when his coffin was opened and his remains found to be perfectly preserved.
Wherever you go stay safe, plan ahead, let people know where you are going, take maps & compass with your gps and follow the country code.
For Tom ????

St Cuthbert's Way Race Against The Tide
Following the original 100k pilgrimage route along St Cuthbert's Way from the Scottish border town of Melrose, through the border lands of Scotland and England to the fabled Holy Island.
This Ultra Marathon is one not to be missed.
This unique adventure culminates in a race a against the tide. After running almost the entire 100k, your success will come down to you being fast enough to meet the 6 hour window for crossing the causeway to reach Holy Island.
If you don't beat the tide you will be withdrawn a mere 2 miles from the finish.
Can you run the St Cuthbert's Way and beat the tide ?

10 very cool reasons to add Montreal to your travel list - Travel Guide vs Booking
There's only one fitting way to describe these ancient pilgrimage routes running across Europe - and that is 'heavenly'.Acclaimed landscape photographer Derry Brabbs from Harrogate, Yorkshire, went about capturing the walking trails on foot and his stunning images take you through fields, over mountain ridges and inside magical churches.In total there are ten epic rambles covered in his new tome Pilgrimage - The Great Pilgrim Routes of Britain and Europe, including St Cuthbert's Way - a 62-mile route along the Scottish borders from Melrose Abbey to Holy Island - and Via Podiensis - a 460-mile traverse across France from Le Puy-en-Velay to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port.The Camino France, starting at Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in south western France and finishing at Santiago de Compostela in Spain’s Galicia region, is one of the tougher hikes with the 484-mile crossing taking the best part of a month to complete.The Via De La Plata, zigzagging from Seville to Astorga, is equally as tough, covering a total of 460 miles.Brabbs told MailOnline Travel he didn't have time to complete the routes with his publishing deadline looming.Before setting off to various locations, he said he had to do 'a lot of intense research' in order to capture the most important architectural and landscape features of each journey into the limited number of pages allocated to each chapter.The avid traveller added: 'There were several times when I wondered whether I had bitten off more than I could chew but an exhausting combination of train stations, airports, car rental desks and walking boots got me over the finishing line in time.'Pilgrimage in Europe is thriving on a massive scale and Brabbs says the 'solitude of days or weeks on the road can have a surprisingly profound effect on those accustomed to city life and 24-hour technology'.In 1990 the cathedral at Santiago de Compostela recorded less than 5,000 pilgrims: today that figure is at least 200,000 a year.The most notable addition to the rejuvenated era of pilgrimage is the Via Francigena, now a very well established path through Switzerland and Italy.The Italian section begins on the bleak summit of the Great St Bernard Pass where a hospice still caters to the needs of passing pilgrims before heading down to Rome through some of Italy’s most beguiling countryside, which is interspersed with medieval hilltop towns and villages.Brabbs’ previous book, Roads to Santiago, focused exclusively on the 'camino' through France and Spain to Santiago de Compostela.But his new addition expands on the theme. He said if he could tackle one of the pilgrimages, he would choose part of the Via Francigena extending from the France-Switzerland border into Italy via the Grand St Bernard Pass.Brabbs said of the route: 'It has glorious architecture, the World Heritage Site of the Lavaux vineyards along lake Geneva and the Alpine pass trodden by countless pilgrims en route to Rome.'The other pilgrimages featured in his book include the Pilgrims Way, Les Chemis Du Mont-Saint-Michel, Via Coloniensis, Munchner Jakobsweg and Via di Francesco.If you can't muster the energy to walk hundreds of miles on foot, this book - while serving as a guide - also allows you to get a taste of the journeys from the comfort of your armchair.Pilgrimage - The Great Pilgrim Routes of Britain and Europe by Derry Brabbs, published by Frances Lincoln, an imprint of The Quarto Group, is priced at £30 and available to pre-order before it hits shelves on October 26.

St. Cuthbert's Way - part 3
Our group took five days to trek the 100km from the Melrose Abbey to the Lindisfarne Priory. Although the pilgrimage meant something different for each traveler, one common thread was the beauty of the trail. This video doesn't do it justice.
