A Short Stage for Little Legs
A combination of a few factors leads us to this relatively short blog entry for today's walk.
A lot of road walking, so not very much scenery.
A dull day with only a few bright spells, so not many photos taken.
And, a short walk in distance, so not that much to report!
We had an extra hiker with us today, my daughter, Rosie. Although she found it all a bit too much from quite early on, and spent most of the walk getting a piggy-back ride from me.
As usual we had the use of two cars. We left my car at the Boatside Inn in Warden and squeezed us all into Phil's car and set off to Haydon Bridge to start our walk. It was quite a cold morning, but thankfully we were blessed with a dry day.
We set off at around 9am today. We didn't stop for a lunch break as we had a table booked at the Boatside Inn. The thought of a Sunday dinner kept us all going.
As previously mentioned, there was quite a bit of road walking on this section so not too much to see but we did spot a friendly bull and found a few spots of river to walk along.
Eventually, the sun came back out and we spotted the pub in the distance

We had an absolutely gorgeous Sunday lunch and we would all highly recommend stopping there if your passing.
The guide book suggested the walk was 6.5 miles but we walked just over 5 miles today and it took us 2.5 hours.
