Easy for me to say, but the route does look relatively easy to follow.
I don't understand Garmins, but in any case I would take a small magnetic compass.
They work anywhere, and no batteries to go flat or buttons to press.
A compass, the map, and a bit of common sense should be all you need to navigate.

Just use the sun. Or stars if you're running late.
The Erit Lass has been around for a while so plenty will know the route well. The bit between N Berwick and Heriot is the trickiest to navigate and a map may be useful if you lose the peleton. After that turns become less frequent. Places to buy stuff can be an issue on this route. Besides the controls (where you may need to get a receipt), there are cafes and/or shops in Stow, Lauder and Gifford.
Forecast is currently looking good

The picture wouldn't display on my phone, so I was left guessing. An LEL entry? A bike destroyed by a frenzied sledgehammer attack?Guess what I did last night:
The reality was a bit disappointing

On my test run I missed the turn after Haddington so the map will prove useful if I lose my bearings (or my mind) - if I know the road number I am aiming for that is always a help, once on the way to Duns everything should be ok, hopefully. Cheers for the information!
