002-003 Cycle Touring The UK & Ireland

(Leana) #1

Chollerford – Bellingham - 25 Km

In great weather, I left Chollerford, soon getting to the point where a
decision had to be made to either veer west or east. The plan was to
head towards Glasgow to visit my friend Esther, and heading west
would be the obvious route. Still, I thought cycling the East Coast
would be a pleasant way to spend a day or two.


Eddie tracked me down and it became a short day of riding. We
pitched our tents at Bellingham, which is famous as a stopping point
along the Pennine Way trail and a favourite amongst cyclists.


Bellingham – North Berwick – By Car
While Eddie was travelling in a car, it made little sense for me to ride
my bike, so we loaded it on the car's roof.


The United Kingdom is a fascinating region with a rich history. We
passed by many castles and visited a few, all of them equally
magnificent. Eventually, our journey took us to Scotland, and I was
amazed by its natural beauty and stunning coastline.


By the end of the day, we arrived at North Berwick, which offered a
comfortable B&B. The town was charming, with old stone buildings,
narrow lanes, and a fascinating history.
