Six members of Biggar Ramblers met recently in Peebles. After meeting at Ninians Haugh car park the group crossed the Tweed as they walked toward the old Parish Church where a bell practice had the church bells ringing to Amazing Grace and Loch Lomond. The walkers followed the well worn path keeping the river to their left, passing the ruins of Neidpath Castle before breaking for lunch near Lyne Station. After crossing the river again, they walked through Crow wood and Barns Garden wood, turning to walk by the riverside once more. They crossed the Manor bridge to retrace their steps briefly, before crossing the Tweed again to walk through the Victorian train tunnel, a very atmospheric 3/4 mile dark passage way. Finally the walkers again followed the riverbank back to the starting point. The 9 mile walk took just under 4 hours, including breaks.
