Looking from Beanley Moor over the the estate of an influential Northumbrian, Ted Wrangham, to the Cheviots (Harehope) Ted's main achievements were having the vision for Kielder Water to secure water supplies and provide recreation and, more importantly, translating "Selected Climbs In The Dauphine And Vercors." for the Alpine Club. I climbed with him once, he nicked one of my karabiners. #Landscape #Northumberland #AlpineClub #Cheviots

As we head for midwinter here's a reminder of summer evenings out in Northumberland, at Ravensheugh Crag in the Simonside Hills, looking westward into the sunset up Coquetdale and the Cheviot Hills.

Recently Hill Wood Pasture has been identified as an important historic farmed habitat. In the Cheviots there would have been Juniper on the higher ground, then Ash/Birch lower down and finally Alder in the valley floor. Here's one of the few surviving Northumbrian examples, some Juniper on the hill and Alder in the valley floor. Cattle would've grazed the pasture around these trees, protected from the worst of the weather.

Wideopen Hill, #Cheviots today. A bit wet at time but a good day out. Very good descent on the bike. Because of the #StCuthbertsWay we met other people, unusual in the Scottish bit of the range.

A favourite Northumbrian viewpoint of mine, not least because it's from the roadside!
Pretty much everything in that view is artificial - i.e. the result of human activity. It's as manicured as a golf course, in it's own way.

I went for a long walk in the hills with a friend and her hound today, and this is my favourite photograph of the day. Taken before it started snowing.

Continuing our watch of the Gaelic programme walking from Melrose to Lindisfarne. We recorded it and are slowly getting through it. Onto episode 3 which goes from Monteviot to Kirk Yetholm. So getting into my granny’s home country. The iPlayer version of this episode is only online until Monday evening coming. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001dhjf/slighe-naoimh-cuithbeirtst-cuthberts-way-series-1-episode-3

Just drawing up a list of ancestors I’ll be looking for soon if as hoped the Scottish 1921 census is put online today. Even just grandparents and their siblings and great grandparents and their siblings it’s a long list! Many in Melrose. Some near the Cheviots. Others location by then unknown.

Good morning, fellow humans. 🌅
Here’s a recent picture of a distant #Yetholm that I took from atop Green Humbleton; an #IronAge #Hillfort with a double wall that sits in the #Halterburn valley. The #PennineWay passes the base of this small hill.
You can see the outer wall of the #fort in the foreground of this picture.
The hill opposite is #Staerough, which looms over Yetholm.

Walking in the Cheviots, one year ago today. This was in Upper Coquetdale, near Saugh Rigg. #cheviots #photography

One from the mobile... just above Copper Snout. There's a scheduled monument, the "Clennell Street Cross Dyke", on the spur below. It's well preserved and includes the foundations of two buildings whose doorways face south, although it sounds like their original purpose is now uncertain. #northumberland #cheviots https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1017736
