Friday April 25

Kevin Skipworth has dedicated the walk to the memory of Elise's mother who passed away in 2007. She was a Carlise girl who moved to Newcastle, but probably took an easier route than Kevin did.

Started walking at Wall near Chollerford, have attached a rather ropey video of start, press play button to view any problems pls e mail Bill Gates.

Weather fine most of day with a few showers.

Welcome to a few newcomers who joined us for the walk including Mike Lane, Anne Eggleston, Barry & his uncle. Thks to sandra Lane for assisting with logistics.

Walk was along the B6318 for many miles with a welcome exit to Heddon on the wall where we have posted a picture of the last bit of wall remaining nearest to Newcastle. Then down to the Tyne and along to Keelmans lodge Newburn.

Fines: Blogmeister for too many details about previous experiences of sharing a double bed with a fella!
