Marv enjoys his field at Anick, Maisie enjoys Marv’s saddlebags

Week 5 (104 miles) Week 5 (total 104 miles)

Day 30 (Hexham to Rookhope - 19 miles) Marv was on fine form today, whinnying for his breakfast of Staypower muesli. He was waiting at the gate raring to go and this meant a lot to me, that Marv was very likely enjoying the trip too and was keen for the next leg. After breakfast, I trotted Marv into Hexham town centre, through the streets and back out into the countryside, after which I was joined by Maisie as the roads became quieter. We were heading for a village called Blanchland (which was my intended night stop). Today was only planned to be 14 miles and the next day was a planned 24 miler. When I pondered this again, this seemed very unbalanced. So midway through the morning I called Fi to tell her I would be pushing on to Rookhope to even out the distances over the two days. She had already been to Blanchland and secured a field for Marv, so I apologised and asked her if she could possibly try Rookland. Maisie managed to get stung in the eye again and I met up with Fi on the corner of a forestry block to hand over the dog and have some lunch. Marv started to attempt to sneak back the way he came instead of just his usual grazing so we cut the lunch short and pressed on.
