ST CUTHBERT’S WAY PILGRIMAGE
DAY 6
HETHPOOL TO WOOLER
(Approx 8 miles)
Woolie Sheep had come with us on this journey. We put him out to graze but he wasn’t sure about the snow!
After a night of heavy rain, the College Burn ran fast this morning. We passed over several more streams in this damp and misty valley.
The damp mist hung heavy over the hills, deadening sound and obscuring our views, but it was very atmospheric.
In the foothills we saw a herd of feral goats. Wild goats have lived on these hills for centuries
Even with the grey skies, the views were stunning.
But these hills were bleak, snow covered and boggy underfoot.
