(25th March 2014 - 10 miles) And so the end. After fifteen consecutive days of walking across England, the finish tape was a hop, skip and jump away. But first I had a pressing engagement with a cooked breakfast ... and vowed not to have another for a long, long time. I happily go months … Continue reading St Oswald’s Way: Day 7 – Fenwick to Berwick-upon-Tweed
