We went to Hexham on Sunday, we were too late getting up to go to the Lakes. It was drizzling and we felt a bit lazy so we wanted a short walk

The sun did come out a few times and light up the view

We walked halfway along this then stopped for lunch.
Rain and sun together, this was our lunchtime view
We got a bit cold so we didn't sit for long. We retraced our steps to Dukes House.

We took a footpath we'd not been on before through Halfmile Wood to get back to Hexham. It avoided the main road that we'd walked up on the way up. Now we know where it starts in the housing estate we will use it next time we are up this way. Our walk was Hexham - Dukes House - Dilston Park - Dukes House - Halfmile Wood - Hexham 10km with 200m ascent
