Overview

We make our way down to Silver Bridge, cross the Tees then take the Teesdale Way path to Pecknell Wood. Here we leave it for the footpath that takes us to the Tees Railway Path stopping for coffee on route. We follow the Railway Path to the River Balder leaving it just after crossing the river. We take the footpath East towards Cotherstone crossing back over the Balder. We don't actually go into Cotherstone instead we take the path to cross back over the Tees. We'll have lunch on the river bank before heading back to Barnie
