This is approximately a ten mile walk starting from Berwick in England , the route will follow the most the northern ten miles of the Northumberland coastline.
Some of you who have walked with Steve this year, for them this completes the entirety of the Northumberland coast , for others this will just be a grand day out.
The plan is to start at Berwick and walk south along the coast.
At Beal near Holy Island we can get a bus back to Berwick and have a few drinks then catch the return train home or drive if you want.
