The Inn Way to Northumberland

June 2015.
Having enjoyed the Inn Way to the Peak District so much last time out, we thought we would try another of Mark Reid's walks.
Officially 94 miles long, we started, and ended, this circuit at Alnmouth on the main east coat line - very handy for us.
The walking was varied, some days more than others, but many of the paths were indistinct - mostly due to lack of use, but occasionally due to less-than-considerate farming techniques ! Weather was fair-to-middling for most of the walk - always windy (sometimes VERY windy !) and usually dull and overcast - but we only had light rain on one day.
We were met off the train by Charlotte & Paul
... who took our official "Start-of-walk" photo.

A good example of agricultural recycling !
