I walk my longest day on the Southern Upland Way, covering approximately 20 miles between Minch Moor and Lauder.  The original plan was to finish near Melrose but couldn't find a suitable place for wild camping so I kept walking until late. I stopped for supplies at Tesco while passing through Galashiels.
