St Oswald #2
Day 2. Mr P walked from Kirkwhelpington to Weldon Bridge on the River Coquet, 34km.
I visited an iron age hillfort with neolithic art above Rothbury and explored Rothbury. I was supposed to be meeting Mr P for lunch in the car park at the hill fort but he was taking longer than expected; very boggy underfoot across the moor above Rothbury, so I left his flask, water and flapjack under an orange cone in the carpark. Luckily no one moved it. A quick visit to Cragside, the first house in the world to be powered by hydroelectricity. I could not do it justice in the time I allocated to my visit, there are 40 miles of footpaths but I wanted to fit in a brief tour of the ruins at the 12C Brinkham Priory church because its not open tomorrow.
The Blip is a view in the incredible rock gardens at Cragside. Extra is a collage of the rest
PS, I've created a collage for yesterday as well.
