26th April 2019 - Phil and Helen Visit the Source.

(Phil and Helen at the source)

As mentioned in a previous post, Phil and Helen still needed to visit the source of the River North Tyne at Deadwater, to complete stage one of the walk. I'd visited earlier in the year with my family. Today was the day they got there and what a great day they had.

Once again the forecast for Kielder wasn't great but thankfully they had some great weather with only a little bit of rain towards the end. Helen has kindly provided some great pictures of their journey to the source.



Phil and Helen opted to park at Kielder Castle and walk up to Deadwater and back again, making the walk around 7 miles in total.

(There's water there somewhere!)

Once at the obelisk they quickly located the small spring. They enjoyed a short rest and a bite of lunch before setting off back towards Kielder. 



They both had a great day walking to the source and are pleased to of now completed all of stage one.
We are all looking forward to getting stuck in to the next stages with dates planned in May and June.
