St Cuthbert’s Way Walk Day 5 would see us walking from Yetholm to Wooler – a distance of about 16 miles. Having stayed at The Plough Hotel overnight, we walked back to the point where we had left the St Cuthbert’s Way route the previous day. Initially we walked from Yetholm to Kirk Yethom. Kirk Yetholm is also the end (or start if you prefer) of the Pennine Way. The next section of the route was also the same as…
