It didnt start off with the best weather for our arrival on saturday but thankfully we woke up to sunshine on Sunday. Our cottage was lovely and comfortable with everything you need for cosy holiday. For more info see www.conwaycottage.co.uk
We had a mix of moderate and strenuous walks to keep us busy over the week along with high energy snacks, thats chocolate bars!
This is a great base and our walks included Cragside Carriageway, Broadsruther, Windy Gyle and Felton to Morwick. We were lucky with the weather and Windy Gyle was a fabulous day with lots of sunshine. We were fortunate enough to spot the elusive wild black goats, found a sheeps skull and also both felt a real sense of achievement when we reached the summit, see the photos for our smiling faces.
It was strange as it had been a peaceful walk to the summit and when we reached it, feeling rather exhausted, I stretched out on the grass and thought ahh how lovely. Two minutes later a dozen or so walkers came bounding up, trampled around, made a bit of noise, took some photos and then disappeared as quickly as they arrived.
A shame we thought as the views were tremendous on such a beautiful day. It seemed a along walk to just 'stop and go'. Maybe they had a very long walk ahead of them.
Our Felton Morwick walk was a hoot, we ended up crossing the main line railway, via climbing over a fence and tied up gate. Not sure it was still an access route but no going back sometimes.
