Warkworth to Craster 29th April (day 3)

Dinner last night was Veg curry at the Hermitage Inn in Warkworth.  Interestingly, this can be served with rice (of course), or with chips, or half and half.  We opted for the rice having had chips at lunchtime.

After a good sleep and breakfast at 7:30 we set off at about 8:40am for a longish walk to Craster.  We had been warned of some planned deviations to the path near Alnmouth but they actually began just out of Warkworth - doh!  When we got to the place where we were supposed to detour there was no detour in place.  Since our next leg, from Alnmouth to Craster was fairly long we had a light lunch at Alnmouth before continuing.

The walk, both before and after lunch, could have had some stunning sea views but, unfortunately, there was a thick mist all day.

We were both pretty footsore by the time we got to Craster after walking about 20km but we still had another 1.5km to go before our overnight lodging in Dunstan.

Lots of birdie activity along the way - Robin Redbreasts asserting their territorial rights, Seagulls nesting in the cliffs, the ubiquitous Blackbirds, and plenty of others.

Looking forward to a night in after dinner and put the feet up.
