The route map of our walk

St Edwin's church silhouetted against the early morning sky

Heading out across the frozen fields behind the village

The sky looked to be on fire from the glow of the rising sun

It was bitterly cold first thing, everything was frozen solid

Another view of the sun rise

Tim keeping a watchful eye out for rabbits

Another view of the sun rise

Another view of the sun rise, I couldn't stop taking photo's it was so good!

The village of Low Coniscliffe, from here we followed The Teesdale Way upstream to High Coniscliffe

The River Tees, I think this is one of the nicest stretches of river for walking, its a very popular spot

Despite it still been below freezing Tim just had to go in the river for a swim!

The early morning sun and blue skies were perfect for these reflections in the water

The recent flooding had damaged lots of the willow tree's, the water level would have been over my head just here!

The path was extremely icy along the river bank

St Edwin's church again, but this time from the river
