Day Three on the The Cambrian Way mountain trail 479 km (298 miles) with a total ascent of 22,460 m (73,700 ft). I think it could be Britain's hardest long distance trail. Its hard to say but looking at the map i think i started todays episode around the Mynydd Garnclochdy area i want give exact camping locations away. I was so wet from the rain all night i set about getting ready to walk around 4am just to keep warm. I was no risk at cold from the time of Year and in good health. So walked back up towards Mynydd Garnclochdy i think. The rain came back on top the hill. The rain was very bad so much so i could only see about couple of meters ahead what with the mist as well as the dark even with two powerful lights. By this time my cannon camera was destroyed by the weather i should know by now and my phone was useless take note people think phone navigation fine lucky i know this i used my garmin fenix3 gps watch with the track loaded onto so i knew i was heading in the general dir

England Scotland Anglo-Scottish border patrol High Gaitle Caravan Park t...

-

Had a great stay at High Gaitle Caravan Park. Walked along the busy A6071 for abit then joined the A7 where i had the option of walking along part the dismantled border railway overgrown in parts but passable. I would meet up with the border again at the eastern end of Scotsdike. Then the border followed the river Esk. I went through Canonbie which had  a shop which was very handy. It was a walk along the B6357 to Rowanburn which had a honesty shop in a old red phone box with local produce. Tonights camping spot is Kershope Forest
Scots' Dike is a three and a half mile / 5.25 km long linear earthwork, constructed by the English and the Scots in the year 1552 to mark the division of the Debatable lands and thereby settle the exact boundary between Scotland and England. The method adopted to dig the Scots' Dike was to dig two parallel ditches, and throw the material excavated therefrom into the intervening space, thus forming an earthen mound of varying height.
Borders Railway Waverley Route. line was controversially closed in 1969, as part of the Beeching cuts.
Canonbie was the main population centre within the Debatable Lands
Rowanburn was founded as a coal mining community in the late 19th century to house miners from the Canonbie coalfield. There is a memorial to the now closed coal mines in the hamlet.
Kershope Burn is a burn running in its entirety along the border between England and Scotland.
