The start climbs over Carrshield Moor with views into West Allendale... |
...and continues over the moors to Nenthead |
The route now follows Isaccs Tea Trail (A 37mile circular route in the North Pennines) |
Wind power is cheap and plentiful up here |
A wildlife camera trap - no doubt now with a good view of my legs! |
Cross Fell on the horizon from the top of the moor |
The descent now starts into South Tynedale to the old mining village of Nenthead...... |
.......past the home of a Premier League football fan |
...and again... |
...and then past an amazing collection of model villages in a back garden! Take a look at this BBC news item all about it https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-cumbria-22796230/nenthead-builder-s cales-down-in-retirement |
...and again |
...and again... |
Passers-by are invited to donate to the Air Ambulance charity |
Continuing into South Tyndale following the river Nent |
...and again |
...and again |
Then arrives in the North Pennine town of Alston which at 1000ft shares the title of 'Highest Market Town' in England with Buxton in Derbyshire. |
