Part 1: Coast and castles 🧵
Day 1a:
This is the first long-distance hike I've done since Uni. I borrow a bivvy bag from a friend, pack my old Trangia, stagger to the Coast Road & catch a bus to Blyth.
I'm greeted by sculpture 'Spirit of the Staiths' that represents the old and new of Northumberland.

Day 1b:
I pick up signs for 'England Coast Path' and head north, wiggling around the Blyth & Wansbeck estuaries.
The wind chimes the masts of sailboats and rattles the shutters of an abandoned industrial gatehouse. Rat-a-tat-tat.
Redshank whistle, Shelduck waggle, Eiders bob.
