A Stroll by the North Tyne

A lovely sunny May day was the setting for a stroll by the North Tyne to get a pub lunch and then stroll back. Didn't go quite according to plan of course. I think the pub being shut at lunch time had a lot to do with it.

The route

We started at Burnmouth cottages, followed the river upstream then cut up towards Birtley via Chipchase. There's a pub in Birtley which would be great place for lunch if only it was open at lunch times.

Actually I've since found out that the pub isn't even in Birtley it's on the main road that goes north, north of Birtley. It's only open on Sunday's in fact - and does one of the best all-you-can-eat Sunday lunches you'll find in these parts.

River runs

This was a long stone jetty built from huge stones, this is me enjoying the river.
