Great scenery, easy running, conversation and plenty of recovery stops along the way. The route is undulating, with mixed surfaces; trails, beach & tarmac. Busing it to Cockburnspath we hit the trails with a short run to Pease Bay (onboarding Gemma?), then follow the coast to Cove Harbour for another pitstop and photo op. Then it's onwards to find Lady Hall's Pool (optional swim), pick up the trail again and pass Bilsdean Waterfall (although doubt it will be in full flow!). Final pitstop will be Skateraw Beach, then its the final segment along the coast to Dunbar and into towards the Station Yard.
