This trek was from the Camping and Caravan club site to Barnard Castle and return by slightly different route.
Kommot and the foot paths beared little resemblement to one another, whether it was the trees that showed me on a different track due to possible poor GPS, not sure but some of the footpaths where no more than animal tracks.
