- Join Kevin and I on a classic coastal hike along the Berwickshire Coastal Path. We set off from Cockburnspath, with a wild camp on the cliffs of St Abb's Head. The second day sees us head further south to the most northernly town in England, Berwick upon Tweed where the hike ends.

Nice contrast to the mountains. Can't get enough of the sea. Lovely. Regards
Cheers mate, nice chatting too by the way. 😊 👍🏻
@@WalkWithWallace You too. Thanks 👍
I had no idea it was October until I saw the pumpkins. It doesn't look that cold at all. I'd imagine it'd be much colder up there at that time. There's so much good stuff in these vids, thanks for sharing.
Oh I can't remember, I think it was warm during the day but chilly at night. 😁
You can find a lot of history in these wee coastal villages.
Nice to rake aboot and see what you can find out.
Totally, loads of wee nooks and crannies to explore. 😁
Excellent plan B walk.. and thank goodness for Mrs Kev.. 😎
Haha, aye Kev had some making up to do. 👀🤣
@@WalkWithWallace Did he contribute £5 towards petrol. 🤔😉
@@BoredManOutdoors what's this fiver you speak of? 🤔
Nice one boys.Lovely wee look down the east coast,a place i have never been.Never recognised Kev at first with his Holywood haircut,lol.🤣🤣Keep on trudging the paths to happy destiny.😃👍
Haha, cheers Andy. 😁 Kev was growing his Jack Graelish look, but got it chopped off.
Good Sunday afternoon entertainment Robin! :-)
Cheers Snowy. 😁 👍🏻
Nice Wallace. Great hike and camp 🏕 Thank you for sharing and wishing you a wonderful day. Take care, atb
Thanks NHT. 😁 👍🏻
Don’t leave the gate open to Scotland, they’ll all get in 😂. Great video and stunning cliffs.
😂 😂 Kev closed the gate after me. Phew!
Lovely views fellahs & it was more or less on the doorstep too⛺️🤠👍. I imagine Kevvie's missus shook you down for that can of petrol that you keep in the garden shed for the lawnmower when she dropped you off?!! 🤔😋😀. Crazy days in the UK over fuel 😯😬🙄
Madness eh, I sat tight and got petrol no problem last night and seems to be plenty in the Highlands. Just city dwellers spoiling it for everyone.
OMG St Abbs was Thor's new home! I had no idea. Always learn something fascinated on your videos, mate. Brilliant.
Haha, cheers Monty. 👍🏻 😁
Different gravy the night mate👍superbos😉
Cheers mate. 😎 👍🏻
Nice one - and great to see the terrible two back together! Quite a snug camp site too - close enough to hear every change in the breathing... Next time you're in Eyemouth, visit the Fleet pub, which is really friendly and gets filled with really funny older folk in the afternoons; and in Berwick, the pub just down from the town gate does amazing home made food! Yes - even I have walked some of that path (Burnmouth to Eyemouth this time last year in fact - it just about killed me, but hey).
Haha, I usually hear all Kev's Dad noises as he's getting his kit sorted. It's worse when he's playing tunes. 😂 It's a nice part of the world and I'll look out for the Fleet next time I'm down that neck of the woods.
@@WalkWithWallace aye aye Robin 😉 Cheers for the tips Paul. Me and the other half check them oot since this is our neck of the woods these days. 👍
Nice one Guys , I was actually working in Dunbar when the railway was shut and had a little wander around the lovely little harbour. I recognised that abandoned building after Burnmouth having spied it from the train lol . It was a decent sunrise to wake up to , maybe no mountains but still very enjoyable. atb Dave
Cheers Dave, yeah I like that section on the train. 😁 What is it you do for a living?
@@WalkWithWallace I am a freight train driver but we also do the engineering jobs on a weekend , I was lodging over the weekend at Musselburgh and had a car and spare time 👍
@@BorderRambler could have met you for a pint Dave. 🍻
Yeah plenty oranges on the track at the weekend, looked like some serious maintenance of the east coast line.
@@WalkWithWallace yeah it’s 4 or 5 weekends closure , on week 3/4 now ,pint would have been good . I only did one weekend 😂
@@BorderRambler some length of a train by the way that was carrying all the sleepers etc. Aye if you're in Musselburgh again, give us a shout on Insta. 🍻
nice coastal walk, I hate having to walk through golf courses, I remember once in the Dales waiting for a bus that i looked up on line, to find they didn't run that day, the whole public transport system needs a shake up if they want people to drive less, my rant over lol
Cheers Lezley. You're quite right about public transport. Having no later afternoon buses is pretty poor. Maybe the damage just isn't there. 🤷🏻♂️
Nice one chaps, braw wee coastal walk. That bacon and egg roll looked tremendous too! You definitely had the best of the weekend weather. Cloud barely lifted above 300m on Arran all weekend.
Cheers James, bummer about Arran mate. Was that your family trip away? I reckon we made the right decision to stick to the coast. The Cheviots looked claggy from afar.
@@WalkWithWallace definitely a good call sticking to the coast 👍. Yes it was, so never really mattered about the cloud cover, stayed dry enough to get a few low level walks in 👌
@@jamesbell6889 nice one chief. 😁 Always guid to get away.
I love those UK cliffs going down to the ocean. So iconically British in my mind as being from the US. They are just stunning! That sky while you were setting up camp! WOW! Just an incredible wild camping spot. Loved this one! ~RVA~
Cheers Jacqueline. 😁
I suppose the cliffs are quite characteristic of Britain. It was a nice place to spend the night camping. 🏕
Shuperbosh mish moneypenny. Love that coastline. I recognised a few spots. If it’s not raining or clagged you’re always guaranteed a superbos sunrise. Good walk lads. 👍
Cheers Andy, aye you'll know St Abbs etc really well. Been wanting to camp on the headland for ages. 😁
Lovely stretch of coastline - seems to take off where the John Murray trail ends.
Yeah you've got the Dunbar to Cockburnspath extension so you can join it up and walk the whole coastline. I need to research what's beyond Berwick and deep into England. 🤔
Muir🤔
@@brianmcbain6997 I've got a friend called John Murray lol.
Been missing you guys on RUclips 👍
Cheers Keith ☺️
Aye, we hadn't been out together since Torridon, so it was long over due. 😎
What an amazing trip! fascinating scenery Big like ,thanks for sharing with us, new friend here
Thank you NHT. 😊 👍🏻
Nice one guys! What a braw view to wake up in the morning! I love the costal paths with all the wee villages and cliffs and stuff. Always something interesting to see! Never mind the Avengers, the dynamic duo re-assembles! Enjoyed that one! Cheers!
Haha 🦸🦸
Haha cheers Kris. 😁
Aye, it's quite a varied walk this one, plenty to keep the eyes occupied.
Good stuff robin. I did notice the double specs: thought you were being super cautious and carrying a back up. Gordon
Ha, yes I wondered if anyone would have noticed that . 😎
Nice one mate. It will be good to see you on the Cheviots 👍
Cheers Stephen. Aye, we'll get back to the Cheviots over this winter I reckon. 👍🏻
Nice one Robin and Kev. Looks some great little coastal villages to visit up there.
👍👍👍👍
Cheers Dave, yeah they're all great to visit on day trips. Burnmouth seemed less frequented by day trippers though. 🤔
@@WalkWithWallace Unless they're smuggling obviously lol
@@NBNatureTrailvan every chance. 😁
Very nice. Thank you.
Thanks mate. 👍🏻 😁
“Bawdeep in Bracken” 😂
Only yir scottish followers will get that one! Loving this one more than the munros as the green tent will always win it for me (sorry kev not sorry😂)💚
🤣🇱🇻😉
Haha. Was actually oxter deep in bracken it was that tall. 🤣 Lol @ tent colours. ⛺
Just seen your Coldingham caravan comment, but I can't reply to it. I used to holiday down there in the 80s. In the caravan site up the hill as you come into the village.
@@WalkWithWallace looked thrapple deep in places 😂 🏴
@@AndyWardle near enough. 🤣
Hi my favourite double act, a different video, not as impressive as Scotlands mountains, but some nice sea scapes! I live about a mile from coast so maybe don't appreciate as much as others! Will be up in Edinburgh next week to do Arthur's seat as it looked grand from my train from Atholl, it's a bit smaller than it looked, hopefully do Jacob's ladder also,any other recommendations! Cheers! Mark!
My heart is always in the mountains, but can't each a bit of sea cliff action. 😁
Allermuir Hill in the Pentlands has a fine view of the city and Colinton Tunnel is also worth a visit. 😁
Nice 1 Robin and Kev. Great coastal walk, enjoyed that👍
Cheers Phil. 😁 👍🏻
Looks a nice wee walk
Thank Ally. It's not too bad at all. 😁
Nice wee change mate👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing.

Cheers Tam. Guid to vary it up a bit. 👌🏼
@@WalkWithWallace
Nice part of the country. Done a wild camp at Coldingham Bay a few years ago, keep meaning to go back just so much to see and do lol. Next stop corrour. My fav place and a bit of trainspotting lol. It's shite being Scottish!!!
Great vid Wallace nice tent looks awesome. Well I have only owned the oex phoxx 2v2 witch I love perfect for a night or to I find it cosy. But I just got the MSR Elixir 2 and just used it in the lakes on a wild camp and absolutely loved it stacks of room love the 2 doors each side with large vestibule I kept my Bergen one side in the vestibule and the other side for cooking. Loads of room to sit up and absolutely love the shelf’s above the head to store my spectacles and and the big pockets head and foot end it also csn have a washing line put in and can sit up with loads of space. Prior to this I only over slept under military ponchos whilst in the marines so for me these 2 tents feel like I’m 5 star camping mate I feel spoilt now but it’s well deserved I’ve done my dues under ponchos in all weather but not anymore that’s for the nods! 😂
I was eying up the Hubba NX which I think is the lighter version of the Elixir? They look good and usually can't go wrong with MSR. Had to laugh at 5 star camping comment. 😁
@@WalkWithWallace yes the hubba is the lighter version of the elixir although people have said it’s not as well built as strong but costs £100 more but I guess it’s personal preference I don’t mind carrying the extra weight. I’m very impressed with it. I think I will get the lanshan 2 pro at some point. Ha ha it’s like being in a hotel mate compared to the days on Dartmoor under just a poncho ha
A different pace from the highlands but loved it just as much. Beautiful coastal walk guys 👍🏻
Cheers John, aye something a bit different and I don't think we missed much weather wise in the Highlands.
Excellenty as always guys. Good to see you both oot n aboot. I did this walk as far as Eyemouth back I the days before wildcamping. Good route but if the wind picks up can be a bugger. Good to see Kev as always. Did he get his fiver? 🤣
No yet. He owes me 😉
Haha, still to pay up. The river is usually much deeper. 😅
Man oh man this is turning into one of my favorite subs. It does, however, take a few listens to understand what you say. ;) We both speak English but I bet my Texas accent and colloquialisms would be tough on you too! Thanks for the great content!
Thanks buddy, appreciate your comment. 😁 I imagine some of our Scottish slang/dialect may be difficult to understand. How's Texas this week? 🇺🇸 🏴
Looking good Robin love they wee coastal villages down that neck of the woods. Wee bit too close to the cliff edge ya madman ha ha! looked dodgy!! Cheers for sharing mate :))))
Cheers Pete, hope you're well mate. 😁Aye, luckily no sleep walking on the cliffs that night.
A great wee walk Robin! Watched the hounds of howgate do a similar walk a few years ago. Lovely part of the World. Cheers Paul
Cheers Paul, aye Hounds has got the same trip in his back catalogue. 😁
Nice one 👍🤙
Cheers mate. 😎 👍🏻
Hello, I just discovered your channel and am a new subscriber today. What a lovely coastal walk. Beautiful views for sure. :)
Thank you Sandra. 😁👍🏻
We love them dogs and a good mistake Robin - leads us to unexpected places. I don't blame ya for filtering and boiling there. I've had serious gut rot because of farmland water. Well, a nice 28 K. No, I couldn't see that castle. Mark
Cheers Mark, yeah you can't take any chances around agriculture when it comes to water. The Collies were fab sitting in that old 4x4. 😁
@@WalkWithWallace A pleasure Robin. Oh yeah that water is polluted. I agree the collies were awesome. Love em.
Cracking vid lads and a lovely part of the world. I had a gorgeous camp on those cliffs back in June. Look forward to your next one. ATB, Andy.
Cheers Andy. It's a fine place to camp isn't it, been on my to do list for a while now. 🏕
Yes its a lovely wee spot Robin & I am just down the road in Northumberland so easy to access. How you getting on with the Scarp 1? I currently use a Soulo but the Scarp looks a cracking bit of kit.
@@andyhallowell27 it won't be quite as strong as the Soulo. But early days, but I'm liking it a lot so far. Need to give it a bad weather test.
Good to hear you are liking it. With its cross poles for added strength and being a kilo lighter its looks ideal. Look forward to seeing how you get on.⛺️👌
@@andyhallowell27 always a trade off with tents, but it ticks a lot of boxes. 👍🏻
Nice one guys, my neck of the woods that. Interesting getting out of Burnmouth, first time I did it I wandered up and down a bit as I really thought that I was walking into somebody's garden and it couldn't possibly be that way. Did you spot the old fishermen's tunnel down through the rock in the middle of Marshall Meadows caravan park?
It's a bit odd isn't it, I only knew that as I had done it before. Missed the tunnel unfortunately. Is it obvious?
@@WalkWithWallace It's right in the middle of the park, probably got bushes growing and a fence around it. It's a tunnel through the rock at an angle of about 45 degrees down to the bottom of the cliffs. There's a fixed rope to help you get up and down.
@@alanmethven4437 gutted I missed that.
Nice one mate. Enjoyed that. Guid tae have that oan ma doorstep eh. 😎
Can't beat a Daz Doorstep Challenge. 😁
@@WalkWithWallace Haha Shane Richie or Danny Baker? 😉
@@Kev_Russ I'm Shane, you're Danny. 😂
@@WalkWithWallace 🤭
‘Mon the East Coast !!!🤗
Indeed. 👣 🏕 😁
Great stuff really enjoyed that. Did the same walk in May though that felt like winter!
Cheers CM, it's a fine walk. I can imagine some bad weather coming in from the North Sea making it difficult. 😬
@@WalkWithWallace reckon you’ll carry down further or have you done already? Given it’s following the Forth to Farne way too. The bit to the Holy Island/up to the Pilgrims walk itself is great too esp down on the beach.
@@BookerT555 I've day tripped Holy Island, Seahouses etc. Haven't walked or though. Would do the Pilgrims Route though from Melrose to the island over the original crossing?
@@WalkWithWallace aye defo I’m planning on doing the same thing next year.
Rob, what’s the brand of the water bladder on the back of your rucksack? I am looking for one with that large opening at the bottom for easier fill from a stream.
Hi Hendrik, it's the 2l Cnoc Outdoors Vecto. 👍🏻
@@WalkWithWallace , thanks. Unfortunately all sold out in the UK at the moment. Will need to wait.
@@hnahler Valley & Peak should get them back in at some point.
I enjoy a coastal path too and always like an old church or chappal and St Helens and it would have been a well worthily detour for me. Those ferns looked waist deep but when you are slaveren nonsense that's what happens lol. I would not run, I would be sprinting lol, to be honest, I would rather turn back than walk passed the bloody awful things, I hate them. Great place to wake up too and a proper coastal view with your brew. Never been to St Abbs before but always hearing how nice it is and scan - o - clock looked nice too, not sure about the green dress mind! Got bad memories of
St Abb's Head is right up your street mate if you're ever up that way on the A1. 👌🏼 What have you got bad memories of? 🤔
@@WalkWithWallace - I was roadieing for a band who were playing there on a Bank holiday weekend. I was promised my own room, so a lass I knew drove me up. When we got there, I found out we had to sleep in the group van, so she drove back home lol.
@@AlanMETALMAN 😂 aye that wouldn't have been much fun tbh.
I'm parked up and planning to walk from berwick upon Tweed to Cockburn's ,the plan is to leave here tomorrow ,I'll split the walk in two , il grab a bus back to berwick and grab my car ,the drive to the next start point and return by bus , it's very windy today and cold
Nice one Matt, hope the weather isn't too bad. Are you camping out or for yourself some accommodation?
@@WalkWithWallace I'm here with my small motorhome , just watching one of your videos , I'm trying out some new gear tomorrow , rucksack , clothing etc
@@mattdragonrider7888 what rucksack did you get yourself?
@@WalkWithWallace I bought a deuter air contact 65-10 ,it felt the most comfortable of all the rucksack that I tried
@@mattdragonrider7888 I don't have any experience with Deuter, but they've always looked solid packs and less faffy than Osprey.
Good stuff lads, just catching up on the videos.. hope you gave Kev his fiver lol 😂
Haha, naw he didn't because I said run and he only walked. 😂
‘Mon the East Coast !!!🤗
Mon the salt n' sauce. 😁
