Good man yerself!

Do you reckin bent tent pegs will be accepted as legal tender? Got loads of them! ;o)

So… Routin Linn, Weetwood, Chatton, Kettley and Dod's Law…

Would these be do-able in a day, perchance, or at a stretch a day and a half?

And would you, Sir Hob, be a willing guide to these dark parts?

I reckon a day would be suffice, they're all pretty close to each other. Especially if you take rocknicker's advice and don't waste half the day looking for the quarry site like muggins here.

> And would you, Sir Hob, be a willing guide to these dark parts?

Given the chance, I'd luv to. I shall enquire about skiving work. If I can't get as far as Wooler, I could mebbe get to Rothbury for a deeks around Lordenshaws. That's fairly close to the Ladywell at Holystone too if you are still unsated at that point.

PS, if rocknicker suggests you visit the rock art at Morwick, ignore the advice unless you're into absailing ;)

Hell, yeah.
Routin Linn rock about 50 yards from the road.
Weetwood only a few yards to some good panels.
You have to pass Chatton in order to get to Ketley (it's kinda the same place)
Dod Law main panels are part of Wooler golf course.

Not sure if you're still around or have set off, Goff... when's this part of the trip planned?
If I could take you round, I would... if it's the 19th might be possible...

Geographically, if you're travelling north to south (?) it's Routin Linn first then Weetwood then Chatton Park/ Kettley... then to Doddington for the golf club / Dod Law.

enjoy!
