Day 18 (16) Pennine Way - Windy Gyle to Kirk Yetholm


Day 18 and the PW finally had a kick in the tail with a windy and wet day. Not really bad but it had its moments. About 50 minutes back to Windy Gyle from the drop off point at Trows Farm. Cloud level very much reduced the visibility compared to yesterday. When I reached the decision point to go up to Cheviot summit it was raining hard and the summit was obscured. Carried on round and down to the Mountain refuge hut lunch. The clouds cleared by the time we reached the top of the Schil but the wind was still strong. Stunning views from the top before the descent into Kirk Yetholm and my free 1/2 pint, certificate and a wee glass of 🥃Macallan 😉. Mrs Sheard being the angel she is has driven up to meet me and we have a nice dinner and hotel booked on route home. 18 days wandering in the garden of Eden. Very blessed and grateful.
