Starting the walk at Weetwood Bridge, on a very overcast morning, six of us headed NW along the road past Weetwood Hall and then headed NE along St Cuthbert’s Way to E Horton.  Here we found a seat for three of the group, while the rest stood or sat on a rock and had our morning coffee stop.  On our way again, we gradually climbed  along a good farm road up Town Law and then down to the Hetton Burn.  Crossing a bridge over the burn, we then climbed again.  At some point along this farm road, I managed to trip and measure my length.  In addition I shattered my good camera, it didn’t like 14 stone landing on it.  A little while later we arrived at a road.  We followed this NW for a short distance before zig-zagging to North Hazelrigg.  As it had started drizzling we began looking for some cover for a lunch stop.  On the map, Mill Race Plantation looked a possibility, but unfortunately it was surrounded by fencing and didn’t look particularly inviting.  So we carried on heading NE before turning right on the far side of a fence to rejoin St Cuthbert’s Way.  This brought us to a minor road near Old Hazelrigg.  This road climbed through an area of open access with good views of the crags of Bowden Doors.  After just under a kilometer we passed through a gate to enter the open access area and headed towards Bowden Doors.  I had suggested we have lunch in the crags which would provide some shelter and after a short distance the girls at the front of the group decided they had found a good spot so they descended into the crags.  The rest of us joined them and it was a good sheltered spot with rocks to sit on.  As we were well ahead of my timing, we had a lengthy lunch-stop.  Eventually we started walking again and made our way, very gingerly, SE over a very rough surface with a “path” invisible most of the time.  Arriving at a fence I couldn’t see any way over it down the hill to the left, so I turned uphill and eventually came to a low wooden structure over a gap in the fence.  Crossing this structure with care, as it was very slippy, we then made our way over a better surface to the B6349  After passing thro the gate, we turned right onto the road.  After a fairly level walk along the road there was a steep descent down Lyham Moor to Old Lyham.  After a further descent we turned left onto a wide but rather rough and muddy track heading south.  This gradually descended to the Lyham Burn which we had to cross using the ford. Fortunately the water level was lower than the top of our boots, but not by much due to the recent wet weather.  The track did not really improve after the ford until we reached Chatton Park Farm.  As Ann wanted some eggs which were on sale and we were still slightly ahead of time, we all had a short stop here.  After passing thro the farm, we turned right onto the B6348 and headed westwards over the River Till and on into Chatton.  So ended a quite hard walk (Bowden Doors) in miserable weather.
