Although we knew it was a long walk there was so much to see that the first 3 miles took over one and three quarter hours. We set off in light rain but the raincoats were soon packed away then the jumpers as it was a glorious day.

Through a herd of bullocks to Dunstanburgh Castle
As we walked a rocky beach we noticed something strange. Kath realised it was a beached but very dead whale so immediately made her way towards it with Martin. A man some way further up the path started shouting No, stay back it's dangerous. He kept shouting as he made his way towards us, determined to be heard. Apparently the humpback had washed ashore on Sunday last and was emitting dangerous chemicals and had lice which would be keen to find a new host. Warnings had been issued in the media but we hadn't seen any of it.
