Day one July 27th 2009. An early start had us rendezvous at 8.30 and on the Metro bound for Wallsend. The team for the first day consisted of left to right John Wallis, Katie Wallis, Pam (Twizell) McWilliams, Sue Wolf, Rachael Wallis, and Joe Tolchard. For the first leg we hoped to make it to Heddon on the Wall a good 15 miles which we did in 5.5 hrs including stops which was canny going. A few aches....No a lot of aches tonight and some blisters but after a hot bath a meal and a glass of red feeling OK. Rachael at only 16 felt knackered towards the end but never the less did the first leg without complaints...Good effort Rachael. The rest of he team finished in good spirits and ended up in Andrew Maltby's house for a cup of tea and biscuits. It'll be an early night tonight ready for the section to Chollerford tomorrow.
The photo on the top left is lunch time on Newcastle Quay Side and the Bridge (The Eye) was rasied as we watched which was quite a sight.
Cheers The Team.
