I'm staying in a campsite in my tiny tiny campervan , on my way up to Scotland. The campsite is near the North Pennines, on a farm. It's a tiny campsite, and it's a working farm, with horses right next to where I'm set. Really lovely!

Picture of a grassy field with two horses. There are trees beyond the field, and a cloudy sky above. There's an electric fence and a teough in the forefront.

Picture of a stone farm building, with a small road next to it. The road leads in the distance parallel to the building, and on the right of it is a field where we can see two campervans (neither of which is mine!)

I've started walking south of the Tyne with some friends who live in Yorkshire, today's walk was great but the highlight undoubtably fantastic views of 4 black grouse on an inbye field. They looked like they were lekking, flashing tail feathers and wings, but I thought they only did that at dawn?

Muddy tyre tracks lead through rough grassland, bordered by a wall on one side with a small valley behind. The only trees are two bare trees next to a ruined stone building. There is a circular No Vehicles "except for access" road sign on the track

A stream flows over a rocky bed in a grassy, U-shaped valley. Bare trees and old stone walls are on the opposite bank. The sky si grey with cloud and threatens rain

An expanse of English Moorland, rough grass patchworked with brown heather, stretches off to the far horizon. The sky is grey and cloudy.

New server naming scheme idea: old local miners’ names for different rock/mineral layers.

Leadbitter, Lonage Old Engine and Ellen’s No 2, for example

Photo of a book page showing a stratigraphic diagram of rock and mineral layers in section at Alston and Haydon Bridge. Various layers are named: Little, Great, Four Fathom, Three Yard, Five Yard, Scar and Single Post at Alston; and New Engine, Lonage Old Engine, Leadbitter, Grindon Hill, Frederick, Winter’s and Ellen’s No 2 at Haydon Bridge.

Finally got access to a copy of Geology of the Northern Pennine Orefield and it's going to be a good (if hard) read. Refreshing to see a field in which a book written in the 1940s, using data from the 1880s, is still largely up to date (in contrast with *anything* in the modern tech industry). Hopefully it'll inform my walks in the North Pennines a bit better

Cauldron Snout & Cronkley Scar at the heart of the #NorthPennines AONB, is a “must do” Teesdale walk. It is an impressive waterfall beneath Cow Green Reservoir, perhaps more impressive than better known High Force. Details at tinyurl.com/394j6baa

Finally got a day of clear weather for a hike. 13.5 miles along Baldersdale, including the high points of Goldsborough and Shaklesborough. #NorthPennines

The biggest thistle. #WildflowerHour #NorthPennines

A multi-headed thistle which fills about 1 cubic metre, by the side of a track. Moorland is in the background.

New walk added to website. An easy route from Hury Reservoir to Goldsborough, a ‘table mountain’ in glorious #Teesdale in #CountyDurham, with fabulous views. For details, see https://bit.ly/3NVEV9t

Walkers are Welcome Towns - Wolsingham, County Durham

Wolsingham is the gateway of Weardale, one of County Durham’s rural country Dales. The area is north of the well know Yorkshire Dales, between Teesdale and Tynedale, but it is less well known and is largely undiscovered! Weardale is part of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Photo from a few days ago and hopefully the last snow of the season. The telegraph poll really annoys me but also somehow improves the photo. #Wolsingham #NorthPennines #BlackAndWhite #BlackAndWhitePhotography
