Rothbury to Weldon

An easier day today, especially following a really good night's sleep 😴!
Still very warm though, and much 'wading' through long grass (plus thistles and nettles!) 😅
The River Coquet, when I could see it, is a very pretty river. I think I saw considerably more of it from the taxi than I did when I was walking!
This morning, along a shady track of a disused railway, gave me a very good opportunity for prayer and reflection and further along the way I met several friendly people. A small group I walked with for a while and caught up with at the Anglers' Arms, where I was finishing today's walk and they are staying. We were able, with the aid of maps, poles and helping each other over gates and fences, to get back onto the right path when, between us we had got onto the wrong side of a fence 🤔
I also spent a good while chatting with a friendly local farmer, through whose farm the path went.
At the end of the walk I enjoyed a lovely chat with the taxi lady, Sarah, who brought me back to the B&B (and will pick me up in the morning to restart the walk opposite the Anglers' Arms)Read more
