Day one of Pablo, Bill, and Tony's trek across the UK got underway beside a vast tidal estuary, where mudflats stretched toward the horizon beneath a calm grey sky. Their journey officially began at the shelter bearing the inscription, "Wallsend, 84 miles. Good luck go with you" — a fitting send-off for the miles, memories, and challenges that lie ahead. As they followed the coastal path, the landscape unfolded in front of them: open water, green countryside, and the lingering echoes of centuries of history. What had been months of planning, anticipation, and preparation was no longer an idea on a map. The adventure had truly begun. The route today follows the shoreline alongside the Firth of Forth, with occasional glimpses through the trees revealing the broad estuary beyond. Conditions are far from perfect — a damp, drizzly day with a clammy chill hanging in the air — but that's all part of the experience. tthe borderlands are putting on a very UK welcome.
