Overview
Now we climb gently up the hillside. A short distance up the path you see the remains of a gate and stile which you pass through, then swing to the left. Here the path becomes wider and there are only wire fences around open grass fields. Keep walking to the huddle of wooden huts of the allotments in front. Higher up you can make out the bows of a large boat! There is a small boatyard up there. As you come to the T-junction, with a block of stables in a field to your left, you must turn right and continue along the path. Keep the allotments on your left, until you reach the end and here you will find a stile and a chained gate, with the Wearside Walk notice attached. Climb over this and ignoring the path going left, keep walking along between the hedgerows, passing the little stile which stands next to what was once a gate. As you walk along, it now becomes clear that part of the hillside has been dug out. This is the site of High Moorsley Quarry. After this there is a very steep but short incline, the steepest of the walk, up to a stile and gate, with all the usual notices attached. Climb this stile and then cross a road. On the far side you will find a public footpath signpost pointing straight ahead, a stile, and some barriers. Beyond this there is a hill which runs for only a short distance before you are on a ridge, which on a clear day, gives you a lovely view all around Durham. On your left is the Cathedral in the City of Durham, on your right are the high rise flats of Low Fell and Gateshead. Just keep walking, but be careful as the path does slope off to the right, until you reach another stile. This one has large stones in front of it and Right of Way signs, one declaring it to be part of the Coalfield Way path, set up by the City of Sunderland. Climb the stile and, keeping the bushes to your right and the fields to your left, walk straight on following the Wearside Walk signs, ignoring any others. After climbing a second stile you will see a steel kissing gate over to the right.
