Description:At Bellingham Eddie walked to Hareshaw Linn Waterfall. I wish I had
accompanied him. Hostel was an old wooden building with males at one end and
females at the other. Waterproofs required, drizzle for first few miles. Eddie ran to the
summit of Padon Hill. Moors very open and barren. Amazing amount of flies on entry
and within Redesdale Forest. Interesting walk along River Rede. Welcome tea and
supper at café before search for hostel. Pint in hotel before early kip. Walker arrived
late at hostel on his knees after walking from Kirk Yetholm. He recommended we
did not attempt the journey.

Location: Start of Walk

Hazards: Care required from M6320, especially in bad weather. Featureless
country with few walls or fences to follow. Obvious forestry track to follow in
Redesdale Forest. Take care to follow path from Blakehopeburnhaugh to
Cottonshopeburn Foot alongside river. Boggy in places even after dry spell.
