		Our walk starts at Alwinton .
		And we head up the Coquet Valley .
		Criss crossing the River Alwin .
		As it trickles down the hill .
		One of the many sheep pens which we pass on our route .
		As we head towards a wooded area .
		Gerry our leader (dark glasses) decides to make use of a sheep pen to shelter from the wind as we stop for lunch .
		Continuing up the valley .
		We enter the woods .
		Never far from the river .
		Crossing it again .
		Then coming out on a grassy hillside .
		With views into the distance .
		In all directions .
		Vennae crosses a stile - the rest of us using a gate .
		Heading through an area of reforestation .
		Back to the coach, a gate helping us to avoid an area of mud
