Nope. It's this one. We finished our route in Eyemouth, but then on the next morning rode on to Berwick to return our bikes and board our train. That last stretch was a bit unnerving, riding along the A1. Eventually, we never rode in the traffic - first there was some grass on the side of the road, then there was a derour we took, and then a cycling path started.

Yes we crossed that on the Coast and Castles route. Incidentally if you'd followed the Coast and Castles (alternative) route from Eyemouth to Berwick (via Ayton) you wold have had a pleasant ride on minor roads inland of the A1. To be fair even google maps would have sent you that way and not down the A1. Anyway you didn't die so all is good.

@dimrub - you've taken a nice set of photos there.

Thanks!

I took the train back from Reston, rather than Berwick. It's a quieter road to the station there as there's a B-road to Coldingham and a back road to Reston which has a nice new station.

Damn, I wish I knew about it! We did see that the train line bypasses Eyemouth just barely, but failed to notice the Reston station when learning the map. And it's even closer to Eyemouth! Oh well .

It's your photo ending in 33 that threw me. Here's the one I went over, called The Union Chain Bridge.
