Final day to Berwick

Ok Walk now done. We managed to go back to the track through a safe and finally quiet route.

A few hours of more activity until we reached the end.

Three bridges

After some coffee and cake, when the bags finally arrived, we were on the train back to Newcastle.

Walking Bedford to Cheswick

A hard day that started in the rain and was due to be 22 km but became about 30km.

We missed the correct turn at St Cuthbet’s cave which lead to a few extra k and then the accommodation was a bit further away from the path than expected.

So tired feet and bigger blisters.

Definitely a stretch to see great mushrooms.

The early stretch inland was not so good but as we moved back to the coast after Fenwich things looked up. But trouble sourcing food was an issue. A late coffee and cake at Goswick golf club.

We arrived late at the b n b but the beer and sausage sandwich worked well.

Far right in London

Joe and I were trying to go to the Tate yesterday but got caught up in travel cancellations because of the far right march through central London. I should have paid more attention to the news and avoided the area.

As we walked past the walkers trying to find a way, their appearance was what you would have expected.

Clearly white and mostly male. A mixture of of ages but more 40 and 50s. Lots of England football shirts and tins of beer or pints. Lots of union jacks and St George flags to reclaim.

A large crowd which in itself is worrying. A bad day.
