Wooler to Belford - 18 January 2025 The image for this post was taken in April 2022 and if you look closely you will see groups of daffodils to the left of the image. Unfortunately, there will be no daffodils today on this walk, it's far too early in the year and almost certainly too cold. The routes going out…
