From Ingram, sunny, cold and a dusting of snow.Jhimmy28/12/2017
Took my daughter looking for fairies as a bit of Halloween daftness. Windy but nice day. From Ingram via Fawdon farm. Had to cross field with bull very close to path, then a field with cows and calves blocking the path. Returned by crossing Fawdon burn to the path on the other side. Very high bracken.NorthernWayfarer29/10/2017
Part of run from Ingram to Branton via West Hill and Old Fawdon Hill. Steep but short climb up the W side; descent through patches of thigh high bracken on E side. Cool but pleasant breeze - good views to the high Cheviot with much worse weather visible there!jamesaskew07/08/2017
Easy walk between Cochrane Pike and West Hill across short fell grass.moorsman02/08/2017
