Twelve of us met at the layby near Denwick Bridge and headed off towards Peter’s Mill. The Cycle Track was new to some of the group, while the number of houses being built was rather depressing. It was good to see that Lough House, where the Tears lived, was being renovated. After crossing the Aln we walked up through the beech […]

Lordenshaws Walk or a Trip to the Equator What a perfect day and what a beautiful drive over to Rothbury and back.
