This is not directly linked to the TGO Challenge. If anyone was considering using all, or part, of the Southern Upland Way for TGO Challenge 'training' please take note that the village shop in Cockburnspath is closing in February this year.

That's bad news on all accounts especially the village as your nearest shop must now be Pease bay caravan park. First the pub now the shop. Ideal opportunity for the village hall maybe....
