Walking on the coast of Northumbria
Based in Bamburgh, our group of 10-plus-guide Walking Women were introduced to the region by learning about the local heroine, Grace Darling. In 1838, at age 22, she and her father rowed out from their lighthouse and rescued several survivors from a shipwreck. In the museum dedicated to her we saw the actual coble they rowed, and it's big and heavy – how she did it in stormy seas, I don’t know. Unfortunately, she died four years later. ...

Hardly surprising perhaps you may think that they set out from Stockholm around 3.45 am and have had to pass through Heathrow and ...
Day 41 - Bloody great eggs, bloody big hills
... make for happy tummies!) Debby, by the way, had scrambled eggs which were also okay.
By 9 o'clock, fortified and full of the joy that springs from knowing that everything is well in the breakfast world, we walking on a small road out of Morebattle contemplating our first significant hills for a while. Today we have only about 10 kms or so to go to Kirk Yetholm, but we tackle three peaks along the way. These peaks looming ahead of ...
