Thank you to Alan Smith who led our walk on Friday 5^th.

Starting at The Seaton Inn we walked to Burdon Village with Alan providing snippets of information about the population of the village and the shooting of a resident.

We managed a peek at Burdon Hall (well the chimneys anyway) then onwards to Warden Law where Carol Hindmarch told us about a Jug with unusual decoration that was unearthed at the quarry; a Roman item now in the British Museum. Also, that the monks carrying St. Cuthbert’s body probably passed this way on their journey to find a resting place for it.

We continued down Salter’s Lane passed the Wind Turbines, turning left to head towards the old railway line following this back to Seaton.

A sunny but windy day did not spoil a walk we all enjoyed.

Once again, our thanks to Alan for guiding us.

Seaton Circular

Bob had a rest so Alan led fifteen of us on the walk this morning, enjoying near perfect weather apart from a rather cool wind blowing down from the North.

We all enjoyed the bracing conditions, with a few gentle inclines to get the heart rate going.

We were spurred on by the thought of coffee or lunch at the Seaton Lane Inn, a perfect end to the walk.

Seaton Lane Inn is good spot for coffee or lunch, the staff are friendly and helpful.

Many thanks Alan
