A short walk today (only 10 miles!) We started off after our breakfast walking along the Roman Wall, the weather was rather miserable as we climbed the hills overlooking Crag Lough (we must be near Scotland). We past the sycamore tree used in the Robin Hood film (no merry men) before leaving the wall behind.

The Sycamore Tree

 After crossing some fields we entered Wark forest, a flat path compared to the ups and downs of the wall. The forest was a wide track and easy going, no midges so far.

Entering the Forest

We passed through a big field of cows and had our lunch. Finally pushing on to the road just outside Wark.

The shortest day tomorrow, only 5 miles to Bellingham, yipee! Sorry to be brief blog, a dodgy wifi connection tonight.
