Dear
Huttonian
I noted in the rant today that you made mention of the Tweed Cycleway. Is much use made of it do you know? Has, e.g. the pub and shop benefited at all. What is the signposting like, I have heard that Borders cooncil are unhelpful with granting permission to site signs (maybe they think there's still a war on and enemy parachutists are lurking in the hedgerows and ditches).
writes a bloggee from Streamer country. Not being a cyclist I am not sure how to reply with any authority to this query. The cycleway goes through our 'parish' but I have seen very few cyclists on it. Once in a while a mass of them appear and make their HQ near the crossroads 3/4 mile south of the village but the Cycleway is meant to be a tourist attraction for the long distance serious two wheelers and it may well be that too few signs have ensured that those hard cycling southern folk have got lost long before they have reached these parts. The only prominent sign posting around here is for the muddy mess known as the Orchard. Perhaps future archaeologists will unearth the skeletons of horibly lost perished cyclists who have drowned in the muddy expanses of earth works just out of reach of the pub-bare bleached bones and a natty indestructible helmet will be all that will mark their passing. As to the war not being over (and that would explain a lot) I refer the question to the Hutton Think Tank to ponder.
Does that answer the question about the pub? But the shop?! I wish.
