April 2010

Unfortunately the bed and breakfast at Uswayford, the only accommodation on offer, has now ceased operating. As Uswayford is the end of Day 6 on the itinerary described in this guide, this will require breaking the trip in a different place or taking a tent. (It's possible to camp upstream from Uswayford.).

Barrowburn and Trows are two other options mentioned in guide, both involving a two mile detour each way from the main route. Barrowburn has a camping barn and now offers B&B too and there's also a B&B at Trows.
