Walk Report

Led by Chris and Jo Squires-Parkin. 8 walkers. Middleton Hall car park, getting to the walk there is the ford at Coldgate Mill to contend with if approaching along the minor road from the south, it was fine today after the recent dry weather, but in wet weather a detour via Wooler is advisable. Happy Valley - Carey Burn Bridge - Broadstrother shooting lodge - Commonburn house - join St Cuthberts way near to Tom Tallon's Crag for a short distance - Easter Tor - Wester Tor. Weather then changed from pleasant to wind and rain. As forecast was for this poor weather to stay, slightly shortened the walk to stay at lower elevations. Hare law - instead of going down to Lambden Burn, then Goldscleugh, then Broadhope and Cold law which was the original plan - path back to Commonburn House - track past Bell's Valley - briefly on St Cuthberts Way again to Wooler Common - Earle - return to Middleton Hall Car park. Distance, 19 miles, ascent 1013 metres, time taken 7.5 hours.
