I had a delightful cycle run of 98 miles. Breakfasted a 5 + left at 6. Went to Kelso, Swinton, Union Bridge, Norham, Allerdean, Ancroft, Barmoor, Doddington, Fenton, Branxton Moor, Learmouth, Hadden, Sprouston1 [and] St Boswells, getting back at 8.30. It was a perfect day except for a haze which hid distant views though I saw Cheviot from above Doddington. The Tweed at Union Bridge was lovely. Had lunch at 1.45 between Ancroft + Barmoor, + a glass of ale at St Boswells. Felt fairly fresh + less tired than after my run to Crook Cottage on Saturday.
