After my last walk across the lakes two days earlier I was feeling pretty pleased with myself , however it wasn’t without a cost , that was the following day I was stiff and sore and had a lovely bruise forming just under my bum cheek where the arty leg bears most of the weight and then today when I got up I was still feeling the effects of that walk , now the last thing I wanted to do is make thing worse but I have found out in the past sometimes a small easy walk is just what I need to sort out any aches and pains , so that was it decided . I had done all my jobs the day before and had acquired loads of good boy points so it was up ,wash , breakfast grab my gear and off I went , stopping only to pick up a bite to eat from my favourite sarnie shop.
I decided that I would drive up to Boulmer, park up and have a nice easy walk along the coastal path, stop someplace have dinner then head back. The weather for once was good, bright with some sun. Well that was the plan however as normal it didn’t quite happen that way.
Things got off to a good start, I was on my own and had a good selection of music playing away via my I pod when I looked up the coastline and saw a mass of what looked like white tents / caravans set out in front of Dunstanburgh castle.
what the **** surly they haven’t gone and put up a site there surly not. I will go on and say I was seeing this from 6 miles away and my eye sight isn’t as good as it use to be. but there and then I decided that I would head up that way “just to find out what it was” or at least till I could see thing a bit more clearly, the coastal path is very easy to walk along with places where you can drop down onto one of the many sandy or rocky bays and the beauty of it is its hardly used once you get away from the honey spots. I love walking along this section of coastline, it beautiful, unspoilt and for the most part very quiet, if you are lucky it’s not unknown to see the odd seal swimming around and in October / November time it’s not unusual to find young seals resting up on the beach.
As I was walking along the stiffness on my leg seemed to sort itself out likewise my nagging back ache seem to disappear the only down side was I could feel the bruise under my bum cheek , its not painful but enough to remind me that I am taking it easy today.
