Eight of us met on cold wintry morning in Hipsburn, with snow on the ground and
more forecast. We set off up towards Alnmouth Station and then cut down to the
Play Park. From here we crossed the small burn, and continued up through a field
and under the railway line, then diagonally up through a field. The wintry light on
the furrows, the snowy clouds over the sea and wintry showers behind us were all
beautiful in their own way. Eventually we came down through Wooden Farm, over
the level crossing and down to the road between Hipsburn and Warkworth. From
here we took the cycle track back to Hipsburn and the parked cars. A wintry walk,
but one we all really enjoyed.
Foxton Golf Club provided us with another good lunch, and afterwards we planned
our walks for 2023. Once again the focus will be on good eating places, as well as
walks around many of our golf courses.
