St Cuthbert’s Wet and Dry

Hethpool to Wooler was today’s leg of the St Cuthbert’s Way walk and we slowly climbed the flank of Yeavering Bell up onto the moor and more disconcertingly into the clouds where mist became drizzle, became rain, giving us a bit of a soaking for a few miles before the weather lifted and enabled us to dry out and enjoy the impressive Cheviot views, atmospheric under the glowering skies, for the last few miles into Wooler; once there we dried off fully and refuelled in the cosy Terrace Café, warmed with tea and fed with scones.
