We started winging this morning about the one thing St Cuthbert was famous for was

been able to change the direction of the wind and it is now behind us.

Thank you, St. Cuthbert. There's a story of him at Coldingham going and praying out up to his neck in the water

and then the story goes that when he comes out of the sea in the morning

the otters come and breathe on his feet to dry them and then they rub against him to dry

him.

How are you pair got a first aid certificate?

I'm in long.

No, in long. I'm long I'm not going on.

You and I are doing something kind of odd for a pair of old sinners We're going on a pilgrimage

Yeah, we're following St Cuthbert's Way

Or as close as we can manage by bike

And we're setting off today from Melrose Abbey

On one shiny pink

bike, well, one slightly tattie pink bike, and one tatty white bike. Yeah, the whole idea of pilgrimage

is a fascinating one. And obviously, because we start off from here and go up and over the

Eildon hills, essentially we've got the mortification of the flesh right, you know, that's sorted.
