Walk turned into a drive

I was intending to go for a walk today from Frosterley to Stanhope as mentioned last night, packed my bag and put everything in the car ready for the walk. Then decided on the way that I would rather go for a drive.

I ended up driving all the way up Weardale, then turning off at Westgate going over to Rookhope and on to Allenheads. On my way to Allenheads there was still snow in the corner of some of the fields. I stoppped up on the fell by the border between Northumbria & County Durham, there's a stone Kiln there. I ate my sausage roll and drank my Lucozade there.

Drove down into Allenheads then on up the dale through Cowshill and past Killhope Wheel, I was hoping to stop here but it was closed.

Carried on up to Nenthead, Cumbria. In about 10 minutes I'd been in 3 different Counties.

Then on to Alston, the highest Market town in England. Turned around and drove home.

So didn't stop to do anything but what it did do was give me plenty of time to think. Will do another post later with what I've thought about, hopefully some decisions?
