LEJOG day 33

16 miles. 607.9 Milecastle pub.
Another dreich start with waterproofs on but soon improved. We walked the whole way to Haltwhistle on the old railway line. Always changing. Different flowers out , wood avens, orchids, speedwells as well as bluebells, cowslips, primroses and a wild pansy at the pub! Stopped at the Lampley viaduct for a break. Impressive structure and onwards to Haltwhistle for a cup of tea. Little underwhelming place. Onwards along the burn - must be near Scotland- to the Milestone pub and views of Hadrian’s wall. Lovely sunny cider at the pub.Read more
