Day 1 dawns and its bright and sunny. Everyone is in high spirits as we set off fairly promptly at 09:15. The first leg of the walk takes us down the River Coquet towards the coast. The assumption is that this will be downhill all the way. The assumption is broken within seconds as we ascend the first hill of the day.
Down by the river the path is overgrown and by 10:00 everyone has been stung by nettles. The sun is still shining and the mood is good.
The valley itself is very pretty and wildlife abounds.
By 12:00 we are in Wheldon Bridge and making good time. Good enough time for a pit stop at the Anglers Arms.
And onward to Lunch at Felton.
