Short break in Berwick on Tweed staying at Grandad Ivan's caravan.
Did an eight mile figure of eight run through Berwick over the Old Bridge and out to Conundrum, almost at the border with Scotland. Just up from Conundrum is the site of an old battle where the English defended Berwick from the Scots. The site is called Halidon Hill and from there you get fantastic views of Berwick and the river Tweed and can see way down the coast to Lindisfarne and Bamburgh.
There were also great views of the Cheviots which are completely blanketed in snow.
The other nice thing about this run that's its uphill on the way out and mostly downhill on the way back. But it was cold, especially running back into the easterly wind.
Eight more miles run and the tally now stands at 1,180.
