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

Today was spent on the pennine way over the Cheviot Hills. On very little food i made my way towards the steep climb before that i had a look at St Francis' Church and to see the closed down first and last cafe good for a photo or a time travelling video haha. After the steep climb the going was easy. Was a nice windy walk mostly along the Anglo-Scottish border fence. Auchope Mountain Rescue hut was a welcome brake but way to early to stop the night. I stopped the night the hut when i walked John o' groats to lands end on the end to end trail. I was planning to make it to the next shelter. The next steep part was upto Windy Gyle Russell's Cairn for the Autumn equinox. I made it to the Anglo-Scottish border gate Clennell Street where i wild camped on the Scottish side of the border fence on Clennell Street.
Border Forest Holiday Park. £8.00 a night for backpacker tent. showers was no extra cost but i bit dated. There was electric plugs in the cooking area i used to charge my battery pack and a microwave.

Windy Gyle is a hill in the Cheviot Hills, right on the border between England and Scotland.
Russell's Cairn at Windy Gyle is supposed to mark the site of the mysterious death of Lord Francis Russell in 1585. He was in a truce meeting with the Scottish Warden Thomas Ker at the time. It's thought that he could have been bumped off as part of an English plot to remove Ker and other Catholic supporters of Queen Mary from their positions of power by implying they murdered him. The cairn's thought to be Bronze Age though, and there are others along the ridge.
Clennell Street is a truly ancient trackway through the Cheviot hills
The Cheviot Hills are a range of uplands straddling the Anglo-Scottish border between Northumberland and the Scottish Borders.
