Nice one Guys , I was actually working in Dunbar when the railway was shut and had a little wander around the lovely little harbour. I recognised that abandoned building after Burnmouth having spied it from the train lol . It was a decent sunrise to wake up to , maybe no mountains but still very enjoyable. atb Dave

[@paulharvey9149]

Nice one - and great to see the terrible two back together! Quite a snug camp site too - close enough to hear every change in the breathing... Next time you're in Eyemouth, visit the Fleet pub, which is really friendly and gets filled with really funny older folk in the afternoons; and in Berwick, the pub just down from the town gate does amazing home made food! Yes - even I have walked some of that path (Burnmouth to Eyemouth this time last year in fact - it just about killed me, but hey).

[@WalkWithWallace]

Haha, I usually hear all Kev's Dad noises as he's getting his kit sorted. It's worse when he's playing tunes. 😂 It's a nice part of the world and I'll look out for the Fleet next time I'm down that neck of the woods.

Nice one chaps, braw wee coastal walk. That bacon and egg roll looked tremendous too! You definitely had the best of the weekend weather. Cloud barely lifted above 300m on Arran all weekend.

[@WalkWithWallace]

Cheers James, bummer about Arran mate. Was that your family trip away? I reckon we made the right decision to stick to the coast. The Cheviots looked claggy from afar.

Lovely stretch of coastline - seems to take off where the John Murray trail ends.

[@RMinkjunkie]

Great vid Wallace nice tent looks awesome. Well I have only owned the oex phoxx 2v2 witch I love perfect for a night or to I find it cosy. But I just got the MSR Elixir 2 and just used it in the lakes on a wild camp and absolutely loved it stacks of room love the 2 doors each side with large vestibule I kept my Bergen one side in the vestibule and the other side for cooking. Loads of room to sit up and absolutely love the shelf’s above the head to store my spectacles and and the big pockets head and foot end it also csn have a washing line put in and can sit up with loads of space. Prior to this I only over slept under military ponchos whilst in the marines so for me these 2 tents feel like I’m 5 star camping mate I feel spoilt now but it’s well deserved I’ve done my dues under ponchos in all weather but not anymore that’s for the nods! 😂

[@WalkWithWallace]

I was eying up the Hubba NX which I think is the lighter version of the Elixir? They look good and usually can't go wrong with MSR. Had to laugh at 5 star camping comment. 😁

[@RMinkjunkie]

@@WalkWithWallace yes the hubba is the lighter version of the elixir although people have said it’s not as well built as strong but costs £100 more but I guess it’s personal preference I don’t mind carrying the extra weight. I’m very impressed with it. I think I will get the lanshan 2 pro at some point. Ha ha it’s like being in a hotel mate compared to the days on Dartmoor under just a poncho ha

[@RVAHikerGirl]

I love those UK cliffs going down to the ocean. So iconically British in my mind as being from the US. They are just stunning! That sky while you were setting up camp! WOW! Just an incredible wild camping spot. Loved this one! ~RVA~

[@WalkWithWallace]

Cheers Jacqueline. 😁 I suppose the cliffs are quite characteristic of Britain. It was a nice place to spend the night camping. 🏕

[@LezleysAdventures]

nice coastal walk, I hate having to walk through golf courses, I remember once in the Dales waiting for a bus that i looked up on line, to find they didn't run that day, the whole public transport system needs a shake up if they want people to drive less, my rant over lol

[@WalkWithWallace]

Cheers Lezley. You're quite right about public transport. Having no later afternoon buses is pretty poor. Maybe the damage just isn't there. 🤷🏻‍♂️

A different pace from the highlands but loved it just as much. Beautiful coastal walk guys 👍🏻

[@WalkWithWallace]

Cheers John, aye something a bit different and I don't think we missed much weather wise in the Highlands.

[@markalanshaw4950]

Hi my favourite double act, a different video, not as impressive as Scotlands mountains, but some nice sea scapes! I live about a mile from coast so maybe don't appreciate as much as others! Will be up in Edinburgh next week to do Arthur's seat as it looked grand from my train from Atholl, it's a bit smaller than it looked, hopefully do Jacob's ladder also,any other recommendations! Cheers! Mark!

[@WalkWithWallace]

My heart is always in the mountains, but can't each a bit of sea cliff action. 😁 Allermuir Hill in the Pentlands has a fine view of the city and Colinton Tunnel is also worth a visit. 😁

Nice one guys, my neck of the woods that. Interesting getting out of Burnmouth, first time I did it I wandered up and down a bit as I really thought that I was walking into somebody's garden and it couldn't possibly be that way. Did you spot the old fishermen's tunnel down through the rock in the middle of Marshall Meadows caravan park?

[@WalkWithWallace]

It's a bit odd isn't it, I only knew that as I had done it before. Missed the tunnel unfortunately. Is it obvious?

[@alanmethven4437]

@@WalkWithWallace It's right in the middle of the park, probably got bushes growing and a fence around it. It's a tunnel through the rock at an angle of about 45 degrees down to the bottom of the cliffs. There's a fixed rope to help you get up and down.
