Distant view of rolling, snow-covered hills against a bright blue sky
Closer view of the Cheviot hills, snow covered moors with farmland in the foreground
Three weeks of rain, and finally today a bright, crisp day. Headed out on my 🚲 for a couple of hours and the #Cheviots were looking spectacular with their blanket of snow. #Northumberland
My adventures to Carlcroft Burn in the Cheviot Hills after Christmas has been one of my most, if not, the most satisfying of my Uranium Hunter adventures so far.

A trek up to the #Cheviots, following a lead about a lump of flint (see photo 2, my hand for scale) found in 1978 under 5 feet of peat, by a farm worker. Initial conclusions from augering: there is a former tarn/lake at this spot, with possible #prehistoric activity in the form of a charcoal layer!

They were wrong

We know this acorn comes from a peat layer close to a previously dated layer around 6000 BC – making it over 8000 years old.
Imagine holding 8000 years of history in your hand!

Return to Windy Gyle and managed a twice round. Good ascent training. As usual the first round felt quite decent, I thought my fitness had come back really quickly. Reality hit on the second round plod 😀

Today I was at Pedulum race hosted by Cheviot trail events and Northern fell running. Good to see the mud in action on this tough 18k course up and down the 2 highest peaks in the #Cheviots #trailrunning #fellrunning
#Running #photography kind of day.
Also back in the Cheviots. Love it.

the Cairn on Great Hetha, a pile of rocks on the summit of a grassy hill. It's early morning and the sky is hazy. Beyond, in the distance, a valley leads away to the foot of The Cheviot, with patches of snow still on his flat top
Eccles Cairn, near the border, another pile of rocks on a grassy hill with more Cheviot hills behind
Looking over the border wall to a central hill on which can be faintly seen the earthworks of an Iron Age Hill Fort of Green Humbleton
Some pics from today's walk from Hethpool to the Border (and beyond!)

This time last week. Brewing a cuppa in the hills. No feeling like it :) #Cheviots #Northumberland
Great running weather on St Cuthbert's Way with ctunchy snow under foot.

Making the most of the bright morning walking in #Cheviots on a lovely loop from Ingram over Brough Law, Chester’s, Cobdens, and Cochrane Pike visiting Middledean (not been before, what a great spot!)
A wee pre-Christmas get-together in the Cheviots this past weekend. We were soaked and thoroughly buffeted, but that just made relaxing by the fire at the hostel all that more enjoyable.

I most probably need to get out for a walk tomorrow, to clear my head (and ideally get somewhere where there’s some sunshine so somewhere inland). Lucky to have the #NorthPennines and #Cheviots so close, less than an hour away for both.
25km walk in the Cheviots - sunshine, emptiness, WW2 Air wreck and the biggest slow worm I've ever seen
