John O'Groats to Lands End - Day 18 Bedtime

After leaving Morebattle this afternoon I had intended to follow St Cuthbert's Way to Yetholm for the start of the Pennine Way going south.

Anyway, I missed a turning and lost St Cuthbert. Without a proper map, I know, I know, I couldn't find it again. I did, however, with the help of the old Roman road Dere Street, trip over the Pennine way and I now find that I am a good bit further on than I would have been
had I not got lost in the first place.

I'm camped on the Pennine Way at Chew Green a kind of old Roman settlement not far north of Byrness where I'm hoping to get breakfast in the morning.
