The forecast had been for rain in the morning. Fortunately it missed us. we had nothing strenuous in mind, just a gentle walk.
Setting out from Warkworth, we basically followed part of St Oswald's Way across toward Felton. Conditions underfoot were generally clarty. Deep puddles that resembled small swimming pools, gooey mud further churned up by moto cross bikes.
Pleasant walking though. It was surprisingly mild for the time of the year. We stopped for a bite of lunch by Thirston Burn which was swollen with flood water. A bridge was discovered further upstream. However, we decided to retrace our footsteps. A convivial and gentle days walking. Surprisingly we covered a goodly eleven and a half to twelve miles/
Yep, just a bit swollen. s’pose skinny dipping was out of the question.
ReplyDeleteWater was a tad mucky for swimming Alan!
ReplyDeleteThat water looks insidiously powerful, I wouldn't want to try to wade in that.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been too risky to try John.
ReplyDeleteHi Dawn, we had a week up in that area with the van back in February and had a great time. We did more cycling than walking that trip and cycled through Warkworth a couple of times. Lovely castle.
