Beautifully shot video in stunning scenery, fantastic. I'm sitting here in Cramlington on a cold January night, had a stroke a couple of years ago so my days of long hard hikes are pretty much over, feeling a bit glum, then I found your channel, really brought a ray of sunshine in to me. Thank you so much for doing this, I'll probably never see the Hen Hole again with my own eyes, so you don't know how much this means. Thanks again, and keep going!!
Damian, your videos helped me make it through winter hibernation. I`m 57 with severe arthritis & can no longer do a lot of things. You have helped inspire me to get out camping this year. Your videos have brought me hours of entertainment . Thank You for sharing your video & taking us along. ATB
This is better than anything you will see on TV!
And you don't need a licence to watch either lol, I'd rather watch TH-cam to the BBC any day..
I don't know whether I've said it before - if not, I should have - I _love_ your videos. There is a real element of 'f... them all, I'll do it my way' in them, which appeals hugely to me. I appreciate hugely your obvious love of fells in general, and those in Northumberland in particular, and I can't tell you how your endless enthusiasm and positivity makes getting out on a wild camp such an attractive proposition. I am an enormous admirer, and I think you are one of those people that just make the world better. Long may you continue, in whatever capacity you choose, to exert such an influence on others.
Thoroughly enjoyed this! We really do live in such a beautiful place! There's no where quite like Northumberland :)
I have watched this 6 times this last two weeks not including the previous times over the last 2-3 years,and i love it,makes me swell with Northumbrian pride and eager to get back out,in the vid you mention being out on the cheviot and how it would be in winter,im going to tag you in a small video that me and cousin put together of cheviot winter,keep save and take care damien cheers
Watching your videos has become part of my every day routine. I really enjoy them. I enjoy them so much, I'll usually get my wife to watch them in the evening, after work, via Chromecast on our living room TV.
I've always loved camping...all kinds, fancy camping, tent camping, back country, car camping, etc., but I've never tried wild camping. Until finding your videos a week or two ago, I really did not know where to begin with wild camping, but you keep it so simple and so education at the same time.
Keep them coming! I've been making lists of equipment I'll need to start my wild camping here in the U.S. this fall.
love the cheviot hill done your walk. In wind,rain and snow,was no stone slabs in my days just peat bogs to walk through great days though.
Keep up the good work guys,thank you.
Fantastic bit of work has usual. I actually got up and looked out of the window when I heard the ice cream van.
I'll have 99 with monkeys blood on please lol.. that made me chuckle.. thanks for your comment, atb, Damian
Keep on doing it as long as you enjoy it, we enjoy watching your adventures !
Thanks for sharing, it's magic in the hen hole and your video brought back happy memories of hubby and my walk in there a couple of years ago.
Maggie Wailes It is a special place, thanks for watching, Atb, Damian
Sat here for the past few hours watching all your vids which are excellent and inspirational time I got off me bum and get out there, been doing the college and hen hole since my younger days in all weathers no place like it and it on the doorstep for me
jim hunter We are very lucky to have all this on our doorstep, I'm only 30 mins drive away and feel very lucky to live in such a beautiful area, thanks for watching..
Enjoyed the video. Great bit of country. Thanks for sharing, always enjoy them. ATB David
Thank you pleased you enjoyed it, Atb, Damian.
Another great video Damien loved it mate, one of the best places you've been to, stunning views and as always love the commentary👍
My favourite places, College Valley and The Hen Hole. Thanks for the video, really enjoy watching your travels.
Thank you for doing what you do...I've been subbed for several years
Brilliant, one of the most beautiful places i have ever seen , thank you for sharing this mate !!!
ZED 14 Thanks, pleased you enjoyed it, Atb, Damian
Fantastic video, can't get enough of the Cheviot Hills. There seems quite a few Adders up there this year,saw a young one myself near Windy Gyle the other week. Great stuff thanks for sharing. Mick.
They come out in the spring to find mates so they are seen more, apparently they are on the decline in the UK which is a shame, thanks for watching, atb, Damian.
One of my favourites of your videos. Stunning scenery and fantastic positive and modest attitude.
Wow what a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy your videos 👍🏼
Hello Damien, One of the reasons I like your videos is your interesting accent. My ancestors originally came from England, Ireland & Scotland and we have been in the USA for many generations. In fact my family lives near the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia.
Thank you for showing me other places on our beautiful planet! Happy Trails....
Great video. Thanks for sharing your trip. Its inspiring me to try wild camping.
Been binge watching your videos like Netflix! I'm an (kinda) experienced outdoors person but never really go out in Northumberland, despite living here. Did my first North'land wild camp this weekend! I'm in my early 20's so plenty more to come. Keep it up mate
Great video, thanks. Love your sense of humour.
Of all the videos on youTube yours are the best. Thank you so much.
+gary hyatt Thank you thats much appreciated, atb, Damian.
Been watching your videos for a few months now. After your commentary at the 20 minute mark, I just wanted to say thank you. I always enjoy watching from start to finish. You have a very relaxed style with good editing that's easy to watch. Don't feel pressured to bring us content, however... just enjoy doing what you do, and bring us along for the ride if you feel like it. We appreciate what we get, rest assured. Thanks for thinking of us, by the way.
I think so long as I enjoy getting out and filming I'll keep on doing it, I think there is more pressure on finding new content as it can get a bit repetitive the same scenario's and style of filming, a second camera like a gopro and external mic for better audio is next on my list to add more scope to filming. Thanks for your comment, ATB, Damian
Fantastic views and video as usual !
Love rewatching your old videos mate, they are absolutely brilliant. Hopefully more like this in the new year 🙏🏻
Glad you like them, I will be out soon and have not retired, ATB.
Great video. I'm going through your back catalogue now. Even liked the Adda making a appearance during the mash potato scene. Thanks for the videos they really do cheer me up. Regards Adam
I really enjoyed the video, I really do appreciate the time you have taken to make his videos.
I cannot wait for the summer, I cannot wait for the next video.
Lance Balzaretti Thanks for watching, I enjoy making videos and will keep on doing them until I'm bored with it or in a box but hopefully if I stop its just because I'm bored lol.. Atb, Damian
Love your vids Damian, this one is my favourite, stunning landscape on the border, must pop up there myself one of these days. Keep them coming. I enjoy the music it fits well for me, almost a last of the summer wine feel to it nice and laid back. Take care and look forward to many more.
Most Excellent! I like your style, man.
This video, without a doubt, was the one that gave you legendary status!
Thank you for the kind words. Pleased you enjoyed the video, ATB, Damian.
Love the ice cream van bit, brill *****************************
Great scenery and beautifully filmed. Thank you for sharing .
Eric.
Thanks for you comment, I really appreciate it, ATB, Damian
Great stuff man. Love your films.
Fantastic footage m8 really enjoyed this one them birds of prey looked like perrigrin falcons. Love the Cheviots atb Gordon
I thought they were falcons but wasn't sure, thanks for that
.......an yer photography is SOOPERB!👍🏻
You are quite right to cram in as many of your wild camps....I wish I had done loads more when I was fit !!!!...Still working my way through your brilliant video's.....Cheers from Inverness
i can honestly say i enjoyed every second of that video mate, very entertaining, and well edited, I'm out tonight wild camping near dunstanburgh to take some photos at sunrise. Hope the bbc are watching, this is the sort of thing we need on tv
Alan Short How did Dunstanburgh go?.. It would be nice to see this kind of thing on the telly but it would only encourage the wrong kind of people to go out, leaving a mess and spoiling it for those of us who are more responsible, pleased you enjoyed it, Atb, Damian
Yeah it was great mate, bit noisy with the waves crashing on the rocks, but a fantastic view from my tent in the morning.got some great photos I will post some on here, had a lovely steak at night cooked on my triangia stove, Sat on the rocks. Was my first night in my vango banshee and I was a bit suprised by the amount of condensation, but apart from that it was a good night, keep up the good work mate, really enjoy your videos
Cracking vid mate. Thumbs up.
Good to see you back again. Your vids are really entertaining! Keep up the good work. Atb
Thanks for your comment, I hope to upload soon, atb, Damian.
Damien! Going back & watching your older videos. Wanted to point out that towards the end of this one, when you’re awake after that long haul of the day before, and you are just starting to make your mash potato breakfast, behind you over your right shoulder, a snake goes by. As you expressed no comment, I’m assuming you didn’t see it. I understand that snake sightings are fairly rare in the U.K., so seeing that one was a treat. Again, about 10 minutes from the end of this video. Enjoyed!
I never saw the snake, even while editing the video. Someone pointed it out so I went back through the footage and uploaded a short video. th-cam.com/video/-r03ostZUUk/w-d-xo.html It was an adder and it concerns me that it could have got into my bivi bag while I slept.
@@Fell_Wanderer, thanks for the link to your follow up video. Over here, in the States, snakes crawling into tents & sleeping bags definitely happens. So when tent camping I use a tent with a floor & a good zipper! I’m currently building a bespoke RV by using a 6’ x 10’ enclosed cargo trailer. No more sleeping with the snakes! As I’ve said before, always enjoy your work!
So glad I found this channel months ago! Your vids and editing is perfect and thanks for showing me places I might not ever see.
Thanks, your comment means a lot, atb, Damian
Excellent and well made video documentary! Nice to see you back again matey and enjoying the outdoors again! Never heard of that area before but it looks absolutley stunning! Looking forward to your next one already! :-0 All the best! :-)
Its a lovely unspoilt place and a bit of a hike to get there but definitely worth the effort as the views are stunning, thanks for watching..
Just like to say just stumbled upon your videos, think there great, i`m from whitley bay and a keen hill walker and i go to the cheviots as much as possible. Loved the part through the hen hole was nice to see it in clear conditions, i was there back in october in very heavy snowfall and fell resulting in two broken arms ,believe It or Not certainly was a interesting walk back! but i have a love for the place. Fantastic job well done mate!!!
Stuart Meek Thanks for the comment, I think the College Valley and Hen Hole is appealing because its so remote as well as beautiful. Must have been difficult for you to get out with two broken arms, you were lucky as there are some big drops off the rocks in the Hen Hole even though I'd class it as a grade one scramble, in winter its extremely dangerous. atb, Damian.
Gr8, them cows made me laugh, same thing happened to me a few weeks ago at Finchale abbey they cant half move!! loved the stills at the end too. keep it up m8 total inspiration.
I wasn't sure whether they would charge or not, when I got some distance from them they stopped following and when I stopped for a break they started up, I wanted some timelapse photography at the head of the valley but they got too close once I'd set up my gear so moved on, thanks for your comment.
Your videos have really inspired me mate to the point where I went on a wild camp with my mate in the woods the night before new year haha.
We camped in my Vango banshee, lit a fire and had pork chops with magic mash, made fire with tumble dryer fluff.. Basically emulated a lot of things you do.. Out again this friday night and then up and out refreshed for Boro match on the Saturday.. Atb mate..keep up the good work
Damian, the Cow Whisperer!! LOL Wonderful video, what beautiful country. I'm fascinated just thinking how much labor went into laying all those stones for the paths thru the bogs.
Diana Hammond Thank you, I think the paths are laid by volunteers like in the lake district. Some are badly eroded and can be dangerous walking. I was a bit concerned the bulls kept following me but looking back they were only being nosey, Damian
that view at 18:58 min is incredible fell wanderer, love wildcamping in the cheviot hills, theres nowt like it, great video, loved the hen hole I've always been quite wary of venturing in there but i think i'll have to give it a try. keep up the good work mate. mick.
The Hen Hole is a nice place to explore and quite an easy scramble, its just a bit slippery in places where water is running down over the rocks but well worth the effort to get there, the view at 18.58 from Auchope Cairn on the Scottish Border is one of the best views in the Cheviot Hills IMHO, I've never seen views as good as that, the weather was good on that day, thanks for your comment, atb, Damian
Another cracking documentary of your wildcamp Damian, nicely done as always pal, lovely weather for it too, I bet you could see for miles, all the best mate ~ Ben
Thanks, views like I had in the Cheviot Hills during that trip don't happen very often, I was very lucky with the weather. ATB, Damian
cracking video Damian, I'm looking to have a wander around that area in September when I come back from Holland as i'll have a few days left of my holidays, so thanks for giving me some ideas. always great to watch your videos
Its a lovely walk but quite long, 5 miles from Hethpool to the head of the valley before the real fun begins with a scramble up the Hen Hole, pleased you enjoyed it, thanks for watching..
Great vids mate, thanks for sharing. Keep em coming. Subbed
Hard not to be inspired by those landscape views mate .
Cracking video , thanks for sharing it .
Luke
Pleased to see you back on TH-cam mate, you've definitiely inspired me with some of your video's, Thanks for your comment, its much appreciated.
Great video mate. We were at henhole yesterday. Beautiful place
Love ya videos Damian really good mate and like you say your vids are inspirational and educating aswel am really enjoying them marra . Well done that man .ATB Liam
Liam Stewart Thank you Liam, your comments mean alot to me. Damian
Class mate 👍
Class, those dusk views at 19:00 were special.
I went up Cheviot yesterday from the other side. No ice cream van though!
This is my favourite video youve done. I was thinking this route myself this year but taking in Braydon Crags. Great video and great production. Picking up lots of production tips just from watching for my own new channel. Thankyou. Was almost like being there. 😁👌
Thanks for your comment, it was a long walk and remember saying in the video, I might not do this again as it was physically demanding, but at least I have the footage and memories to look back on. And thats the important thing to remember, is to film everything because there will come a time when you cant get out and the memories will be priceless. With each video you get better and get ideas and inspiration from other peoples videos. Thats how we all learn, TH-cam is a great community to share content and ideas. ATB, Damian.
Brilliant walk, stunning views. Well worth it when you got to the top and also on route, Good memories for you too look back on. Made me laugh when you were chatting away then suddenly someone appears, usually the case isn't it, but in this day and age of Selfies n TH-cam vids you dont feel like a nut job talking to yourself :) Great vid, thanks for sharing, JB.
So long as he saw the camera and realised I wasn't chatting away to
myself (time for the men in white coats to come take me away), although
it was funny in the sense that I was in actual fact talking to
myself lol.. guess that's why it was funny lol, atb, Damian.
Top video mate, well presented and inspiring....well done sir!
Thanks for your comment and for watching.
You the man Damian, love your videos. Found you on here by looking for inflatable kayaks and came across your deliverance video lol and been watching ever since. Turned naughty 40 last year and got the thought of kayaking in me head...midlife crisis I think. Still not got out there but moving to the Kent country side within the next few weeks from London. So on hold until then....I will be buying a sevylor kayak and giving the Medway a go and I'm lucky to have a brother who lives in Bavaria so looking forward to a lot of wild camping out there. I'm going on and talking shite...must be rubbing off on me lol ATB Dean. 😎👍
I just found this old video, and it was absolutely fantastic. That walk over the Pennine Way was the boggiest walk I've ever seen. They must have used helicopters to move the stone in there for the pathway. I would have hated to be one of the workers laying all that stone. It goes on for miles. Thank goodness you were able to find dry ground to roll out your bivvy.
i have watched many of your videos and working my way thought. i think you are a lovely chap and i enjoy watching your travels as you make them fun. i am only replying due to your comment at the 20 min mark. i don't expect you to make many often. but when you do i will look forward to watch them... hope you and your family are all well... keep up the good work :)
+TheDagsy Thank you for your comments that means alot to me, ATB, Damian.
Hi Damian, That was absolutely stunning what a magical place. You are doing a fantastic job as far as your video's are concerned, don't you ever let the idiots who give you negative comments get you down, they arn't worth worryibg about believe me you are doing a grand job and I for one always enjoy watching you out there in the places that you love. I only wish I lived in that part of the country, I'd never go home.
Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
All the best my friend
Simon
Thanks I really appreciate the comment, it is a wild and beautiful place to visit and if you enjoy the peace and solitude of walking in the hills you wont see many other people up there because of its remoteness, Atb, Damian.
Wish I was there, really enjoyed your film
Thank you, pleased you enjoyed it, ATB, Damian
You cannot beat Northumberland great video
love this video and still chuckle at the cows and the ice cream van JINGLE !! wow UPLOADED 9 years ago busy WATCHING your older VIDEOS again WHICH encouraged me to get out HIKING as { SANDANCER SENTINEL} atb STEVE
Didn't recognise you at first.. I like your uploads of walks to places I've not discovered, thanks for sharing.
THANKS Damien hope your doing well and still managing to get out with CHRISTOPHER take care ATB steve
That view from the top was spectacular. I only just realised that both our channels have only just hit the 1,000 subscriber mark AND we've both posted exactly 16 videos lol :) Keep up the good work bro and wishing your channel every ounce of success moving forward ~Peace~
I nearly overlooked your message it was in my spam folder, not sure why?.. pleased you enjoyed it and good luck with your channel too mate, ATB, Damian
That was cracking Damo,really well shot and edited.the hen hole looked like a nice bit of terrain. I do like to see that you have posted a new video but don't get stressed if you don't get one up for a while,you are doing it for yourself,not others.the negative comments probably come from people that have never put a video up or even get out there.keep up the good work and stay safe.ATB.Rich
I hear what your saying, it has to be enjoyable doing what we do otherwise why do it, it can be hard though thinking of new content to film without it becoming too repetitive, Thanks for watching, ATB, Damian
Rewatching this 9 years later, still quality
Just got to thank you again. I would never go to these places.You took me there. Cheers.
+Will Whittaker Thanks for your kind words they mean a lot to me, ATB, Damian
brilliant video
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video. I have watched this one several times as I enjoy the scenery and your comical input . I enjoy all of your videos and I am thinking about doing something similar because you have given me some inspiration to move myself from using a 35mm still film camera to getting a digital camera and laptop. Thanks for your brilliant work and keep it up when you can , not because you feel obliged to for your audience. Hope to see more of your work soon.
Thank you for commenting. A DSLR camera will have many advantages over older formats such as 35mm film. Join the revolution and don't look back, atb..
Very nice. Thank you for sharing ;)
Your welcome, thanks for watching
Interesting video 👌🏻
Was up the cheviots on Monday and found a dead cheviot goat on the border ridge not far from windy gyle 😞 but we spotted another 9 live ones 🙌🏻
When the cows start following you through the valley it's actually a really beautiful scene. If only you'd been dressed differently it would've looked very Marlboro Man-esque.
great video mate
tom
Thanks, not long uploaded and it takes a while to show up in HD I've noticed, pleased you enjoyed it though, ATB, Damian
thanks, great vid
your welcome, thanks for watching.
I realy enjoyed that,love the cheviots,i watch all your vids earlier this year i was hospitalised and nearly didnt make it out,your vids were and still are a great source of insperation and entertainment,i was a little guted in the end of this not to see the journey through with you till the end,so i only liked it 99.9% hahaha cheers,oh when i get a chance i must tell you about the BIG wild dog that roams cheviot!!@
Sorry to hear about your hospital visit, its good you are ok now. I've heard accounts of dog like creatures roaming the countryside and they must be paranormal because they would be seen more often like deer who can't conceal themselves all the time. You should check out Debbie Hatswell from BBRUK th-cam.com/channels/YGn8pR90PO_oBzOjiZ23tA.html
@@Fell_Wanderer my cousin is the hardest man in the world to convince or even sway to the possibilties of the paranormal,science is his explanation for everything,then we went up cheviot and saw to what i could only describe as being a massive alsatian,we descused amd debated its exostance and despite all theorys he cannot and will not dissmiss the fact he saw it,belive you me that is a massive thing,il check out debbies stuff cheers
well done marra loved the ice-cream van lol
Cheers, pleased you liked it.
I’ve one Damian, Hen Hole is my favourite place in the Cheviots. Was there last Sunday when it was frozen and it was spectacular 👍
The Hen Hole is a beautiful and wild place, you don't usually encounter other people which adds to its appeal.
great overnight'er. Im impressed at the stone footpath. I would love to set up camp near those waterfalls.
The Hen Hole is a lovely place to visit, a bit hard to get to but well worth the effort, thanks for watching.
Peregrine Falcons! i.e those birds of prey, The worlds fastest animals, can fly at speeds of over 200 miles an hour.
Another good film, thanks mate.
I thought that's what they were but wasn't sure, wow 200 mph, I'm pleased they didn't start swooping down on me at that speed lol, thanks for the info, atb, Damian
I say fly but its when they dive that they can reach those speeds. Those birds were nearly extinct in Britain forty or thirty years ago but are now quite common, they've made a good comeback. Plenty to be seen down here in Sussex and on the South Downs.
pair of peregrine falcons nest outstandin video mate
cheviots rock,i stop at mounthooly love the area,henhole to sumit favourite sometimes bizzle craggs,mint cheers
Brilliant vid.. you are something ells ...that Hens hole would have finnished me..really enjoy all your vids..by the way did yous not see that snake or sloworm pass by a couple of foot from you when you was makeing your mash.. like you say the open country is amazing...keep on doing ..and I will keep on enjoying...many thanke..Sid
+Sid Greensides Thanks Sid I didn't see the Adder at first, only after uploading the video a subscriber pointed it out to me. They aren't aggressive but was concerned that a snake could have found its way into my bivy to keep warm in the night and bit me when I moved.
damian, always look forward to watching your vids brutha, yav def enspired me on the canoe note, love ya crack, when them cows were chasing ya, i did giggle and when ya said , or go on, i carnt resist a selfie, lmfao, mate, i started my channel for very sim reasons, also for my lad to watch back things we got up to, i love getting out, just wish i had more time to do so, keep them coming bro, hopefully this year we can get a meet up pal, i look forward to that , atb john
Cheers John, I really appreciate your comment, hope you and Jai are having fun with the canoe, take some footage and let us all see how its done, we'll sort something out soon, ATB, Damian.
Thoroughly enjoyed this, recently moved near Wooler myself and would love to follow this walk, very well shot and thought out, "I hope they don't charge, I've only got a fiver!" Class! Andy a Lillie
Andy Lillie I got dropped off at Hethpool and walked to Wooler Via The Cheviot otherwise its the same route back to the car and that road in the College Valley is quite long and to do it twice didn't appeal to me. I was so lucky with the weather and the memory will stay with me for years to come, ATB, Damian
OK thanks bud will take note, where are you off to next?
Andy Lillie Just did a camp at Harwood Forest 2 days ago, it was cold as it got down to 0 degrees C and my bag is rated to 3 degrees, there was a hard frost and although I wasn't shivering I kept waking up cold even though I had thermals on, filmed the occassion and will upload it soon
Amazes me when you got to the top who carried them paving stones up there and layed them must of took some doing fantastic video 🏕👍
I think the slabs would have been to heavy to carry all the way and may have been dropped off by helicopter
@@Fell_Wanderer yeah good shout 👌
just started watching yur vids,,,great stuff
Hi Fell Wanderer, I love the videos, please keep up the excellent work and content,
I am hoping to visit the hen hole for a wild camp, any ideas on the best place to leave the car overnight? Is Hethpool car park any good? Cheers
Thanks for your comment, Hethpool carpark is ok overnight, I car camped and there were other vehicles left there overnight with no problems.
Marvelous... enjoyed that, I'm a Welsh mountain man myself you must visit sometime.
Gawdon Bennett We have family in South Wales and I usually visit once a year, I need to go back to Snowdonia as its beautiful there, Damian
Nice video. Looks like a grand time. My three humorous highlights: (i) when you say you've got to get cracking, then sit down for half an hour; (ii) the ice cream van audio-mirage; (iii) that bloody great snake not three feet away from your stove. :) :) I bet it had spent the night in your bivvy bag. :) :)
the snake definitely makes me think twice about bivving in the hills, thanks for watching
Damien what the he'll is that adder in the top left hand corner all about at 33.35,rhe sheep bleets then it appears.i am rewatching all your videos
Funny, just came on to see if you uploaded anything.
That was different mate, awesome. Now I really want to do that walk lol, didn't notice at first but I seen some other comments about the snake when you were making yr breaky, did you notice it when you were their? Thanks for that mate
I never saw the snake while there or editing later, it makes you wonder just how much wild life is hiding near when we're out and about, Its a lovely place to go walking but quite a long walk so its best to spread it over 2 days, thanks for watching
What was that when u was cooking,looked like a snake went past u think on the 38 minute,did anyone notice it,,also great video too,thanks David
Thanks for spotting it, I've spent hours editing this video and it was in plain view and totally missed it, I've looked back at the footage and its an Adder, just pleased they aren't an aggressive species.
Really enjoyed that. Bit steep that last climb. Had me a little concerned, you seemed to be walking loads but not eating or drinking anything. Am sure that wasn't the case tho. Look forward to next one. Atb sue
I was walking while eating and drinking on the go as I had lots of distance to cover before nightfall, took loads of energy bars and snacks to eat along the way, filming slows me down so it felt like I was getting lots of breaks, although the climb out of the Hen Hole was tough and was tired when I finally found a place to sleep, the only hot meal I had was in the morning which was nice, Thanks for watching, Atb, Damian.
Good stuff. Im local (ish) to the area and im thinking of heading up that. Are there any streams for water and possibly fish?
Steve Brookes The College Burn runs down that valley and is a nice clear stream, although I would still filter and boil to be completely safe. There may fish in the lower slow moving places possibly course fish and trout but taking them would be illegal as its privately owned land
Love the fellwalker Northumbrian gadgie proper family man and good all round tent would love to meet him from Prudhoe
Gent not tent lol
