FORTH TO FARNE WAY (RUCKSACK READERS)

The first Rucksack Readers guide to the 70-mile pilgrim route which starts from North Berwick on the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh and follows the North Sea coastline to the St Abb’s Head and Coldingham Priory before crossing the border to Berwick and culminating with a barefoot crossing of the Holy Island sands to Lindisfarne, where St Aidan founded a monastery in AD 635. With colour photos and clear mapping, the guide shows how to complete the route within 5 to 8 days, staying in friendly B&Bs along the route, or as several shorter expeditions using train and bus.
