Last night i wild camped on a right of way in woods by the Union Bridge. When there no choice i camp on the path it self making sure my tent is visible incase of bikes. The Union bridge was a highlight of my trip i have been over it before when i walked John o' groats to Lands end may have camped in the same place. After going over the bridge it was a road walk for a while where i came to a bus stop i got a return ticket to Berwick to restock on food and drink. Then it was a road walk again and a highlight was walking along a border track until i realised there was no bridge across the river Whiteadder Water i had to make a massive detour to B6461 road bridge. Then it was a walk along the river back to the border track on the other side of the river. At the border i was walking on the border track all the way to A6105 road. The border took a right turn onto Bailies burn before Clappers. Not long after Clappers i took a track not over to Lamberton had look around the Church ruins there. Then made my way across side of a field to the A1167 famous border sign. Then i had find my way down to the coast to make my way to the End of the Anglo-Scottish border where i wild camped. Its also the Start or End of the English coast path.

Union Bridge is a suspension bridge that spans the River Tweed between Horncliffe, Northumberland, England and Fishwick, Berwickshire, Scotland. In so doing, the chain bridge also spans the border between England and Scotland. When it opened in 1820 it was the longest wrought iron suspension bridge in the world with a span of 449 feet (137 m), Today it is the oldest suspension bridge still carrying road traffic
Lamberton Kirk or church where, in July 1503, Margaret Tudor the daughter of King Henry VII of England, met the representatives of King James IV of Scotland (and traditionally is said to have married him by proxy), thus leading to the eventual succession of James VI to the English throne. Only ruins of the nave and chancel remain, as the burial-place of the Rentons of Lamberton
