As above, I have a work event in Hutton on Saturday, a colleague in Coldstream and a running race in Lauder in Sunday, so a wee wild camp and cycle is very tempting.

Any ideas where to camp?

Got a boat? I have camped on the island just up from Coldstream while on a canoe trip before...

It's all a bit flat and farming - but if you're pitching after dark (AKA 5pm) probably worth looking alongside the Tweed.

Borders XC OP?
I'm doing that.
I'm in Stow and have a spare bed Saturday night, pm me if its any use.

I have Nike but no boat with me, I guess I could bring my SUP but paddling in the dark sounds risky.

@intheborders cheers I was hopeful that might work.

@andrewh cheers but that's too much pedaling from Hutton in the dark. See you on the day?

Cool @andrewh how might I recognize you? Would be good to meet another STWer, Jason Liddell and George "trollingzoofighter" Lupton should be there with kids, I'll noise them up. Hope I get my number in time!

Colleague has crapped out (she may have though I was asking her for a drink to my dark campsite 😆) and 4pm-12pm solo doesn't appeal so I will just come home on the Saturday night

I'll be with the Lauder Limpers, though I don't have a club vest. Long hair, beard, 5'11". In a white Mk7 Transit if you see me on the car park.
I've never met anyone off the forum before, well not via the forum anyway. How will I know who you are?
