There’s probably a designated day for posting pictures of trig points, but I’m not sure what it is. Anyway, here’s the trig point on top of Shillhope Law, looking splendid in the April sunshine today. I’ve been up there many times before, but never made the small detour to the trig point, which was remiss of me.

Do other people have favourite places to photograph on regular walks? This gate is one of mine. I have pictures of it in all seasons, and all weathers. It genuinely looks different every time.

Not great light for photography today, but I had a thoroughly enjoyable walk in the Cheviots around Shillmoor. Skylarks were singing their hearts out over the tops, and I saw dippers on the burn. Also, sheep.

A bit of a dull, grey day in the Cheviots, but still very beautiful. I saw two other people in 13 miles, which makes it extremely congested by local standards.

An absolutely glorious afternoon in the Cheviots. I love this low winter light, and the long shadows it creates. The first picture shows Camp Knowe, with Clennell Hill and Silverton Hill behind, and thus qualifies for today’s #HillfortWednesday #Northumberland #WinterWalking #Cheviots

Anyone else with their live tracking app open following the Spine Race as the two front runners near the finish?
Jack Scott has opened a gap over Damian Hall, but has a 40 minute time penalty. Can he create a large enough gap with only 3 miles left? My guess is he is about a mile ahead. Not often do two markers on a map become compelling viewing - well not all the time, but looking every few minutes.

Finally, some sunshine. Celebrated with a walk from Shillmoor, in Upper Coquetdale.

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.

Lovely to have the company of a friend and her hound on my walk today. We encountered sunshine, low cloud, rain, and sleety snow, and it was wonderful.

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

Border patrol. There’s no way anyone’s getting past this lot without a hefty bribe of sheep nuts.

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.

A bit of a dreich morning for my walk in the Cheviots (had to deploy the waterproof trousers at one point). Some interesting light though, and the sun did briefly come out towards the end. And there were sheep.

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.

If you attempt to sneak across the English/Scottish border, the ever vigilant border patrol sheep will quickly raise the alarm #Defaidodon #sheep #SheepOfMastodon #Northumberland #Cheviots #Borders #NotMySheep
