It was a rainy Friday in mid-February, a
rainy day after a week of rain, but we
had the day off (it was my birthday) and
we wanted to do something special.
‘Something special’ for us means going
for a big nature walk with the lads,
which we do anyway, every weekend (or at
least we did in those pre-isolation
days), but when we want a different walk,
something that will feel like more of an
adventure, we’d usually head north to
Tentsmuir in Fife, or perhaps to Faskally
Woods in Perthshire. But on this day, the
forecast was looking better to the south,
so we drove down the east coast to
Northumberland, looking for a break in
the weather.
