Just in time

A lazy Sunday, and a beautiful day. We decided late on, a little too late really, to stretch our legs and get some fresh air. It was almost 4.30pm when we set off to walk round the side of Humbleton Hill and over to St Cuthbert's Way and down to Wooler Common. Unfortunately, MrM was feeling a little out of sorts and turned back just after High Humbleton village. I decided to carry on to try for some sunset photos, and just about made it to the high point of the walk on St Cuthbert's Way in time to watch the sun sink behind the hills!

I was quite relieved to reach the tarmacked track while there was still some light in the sky. No need to use my head torch, though I'd packed it just in case!

Home in time to cook dinner, before a relaxing evening in front of the fire watching the last episode of 'Trigger Point'.
