Went for a lovely seven mile walk, very near to Keilder reservoir on Sunday. Also passed the house that I spent the first two years of my life in. Probably should have taken a few more pics but some are better than none.
From the village of Falstone the walk takes a roughly circular route after an initial mile or so walk east from Falstone eventually rejoining the point where you turn off to the left before the return mile walk back to the village.
A short walk from the car, we passed the old rectory. Mum's dad was a vicar here in the late fifties and early sixties.

The walk up the gradual incline from the village.
Moi
Lovely skies and sunbursts
Interesting Lichen (Usnea) on some ancient oak trees near the river North Tyne
I loved this moss too (Hypnum cupressiforme)
This steep bank was the only part of the walk that tested me. Not great with heights and it was very steep! The gate at the top opened out too!!!
I did take other photo's but not really that good. Enjoyed the walk and will do it again sometime.
This is me at the rectory
Mum's painting of the rectory about 1979-80(ish)
Not far from the Pennine Way
A cute but aggressive sheep. Kept stomping it front foot.
