He was pretty good when we met up.

We had a very welcome interloper with a friendly dog to keep Quizzie company .

If you recognise the dog you'll know who it was .



We had a lovely walk to the George Stephenson's birthplace café - which was shut .

In fairness, they said they weren't properly opening until Easter, but it was a lovely morning with loads of folks out and about, so maybe they missed a trick?

Not to be thwarted, the 3 humans and 2 dogs set off for another establishment .

Quizzie decided that a mid-morning swim was in order so headed for the Tyne. Doing a quick "Mr Benn" style change into a mountain goat she got her desire. Several times . As none of us are abseilers I'm not too sure how we'd have got her back onto the path if the mountain goat incarnation had malfunctioned .

Tea, coffee and some properly delightful cakes later we ambled back to the cars.

Rich has already been in touch with an idea for a different route the next time we get together which I reckon is good news.

Hopefully shed destroying and replacing over the next few days so apologies in advance if I'm a bit hit-and-miss on the forum.

SWMBO thought it'd take a day

Take care everyone and look after yourselves.
Thank you Andy for the update regarding Richard, hopefully he is out of the dark place.
