Day 19 - The Last Day (Cocklawfoot - Kirk Yetholm)

The weather, thankfully, was beautiful all day; not too hot, and not too cold, withoccasional cloud,but mostly sunny.

We set off at about 9:45, and made it back up to the path in just over an hour. We reached the top of Cairn Hill soon after, and decided to take the detour to the top of the Cheviot, the highest point on he walk. We stopped for a snack up there, and enjoyed the sense of achievement it brought.
We then walked mack down, and along to a mountain refuge hut, where we had lunch. We admired the view from the hut as we sat on the porch; a beautiful vista of the surrounding landscape in the sun.
The rest of the day passed uneventful, and we made it into Kirk Yetholm unharmed, and very, very relieved.
