We are having a big catch-up on our blog as we had no WiFi for the two days we camped at Wooler. We caught up yesterday afternoon at the Barn at Beal and I think that you, are loyal readers have received that one. We then typed up another one but the Find Penguins site froze and we lost it! So here goes again.
We walked from the campsite into Wooler and climbed high above the town intending to do a four mile circular walk, selected from one of our guid books.
