PaddockLad 14574 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Some say this is why Morgan went back to work for Murdoch, uncle Roops will apparently look after him in the event of a prosecution, which you can imagine the somewhat estranged Duke of Sussex may possibly commence after this is over. Harry is fuckin gunning for 80s/90s tabloids. Hes been prepared to largely chuck his old life away to get his version of justice. Hope the cunt comes through the other side ok, must be eating him up inside…. https://amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/may/10/piers-morgan-knew-of-phone-hacking-when-at-the-mirror-high-court-hears-prince-harry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 3655 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Planning a few walks around Northumberland for the summer. I know there are some other old boring fucks who like a walk around there so any suggestions?

Monkeys Fist 38677 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 What sort of distance are you after? There’s full day treks in the Cheviots, a few miles strolls along the Roman Wall, riverside walks along the Allen.… (CT is probably your best chin man, he’s got loads of them. ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 3655 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Enjoyed an 8 miler around Derbyshire the other weekend. About a mile up and down in total, anything longer than that I’m liable to get bored tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38677 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Allen Banks and Staward Gorge 7.5 mile Circuit Roman Wall- this starts and ends at The Sill, right next door to a pub with its own brewery and decent bait. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About a mile up and down in total, anything longer than that I’m liable to get bored tbh There’s a good one where you can go up in the Simonside Hills. It’s quite easy but the views are fantastic on a clear day. You can see over to the Cheviots but also can see virtually the whole of the Northumberland coast at the eastern end of the walk. Also has the advantage of being a circular walk with the start / finish point being a Forestry Commission carpark. It was partially closed because of Storm Arwen but I think I read it reopened again recently. I’ll see if I can find the the link. If you don’t enjoy it you can chin me.

Alex 30336 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) @strawb here you go. Do it anti-clockwise to save the best view for near the end. It’s way-marked so you don’t need to do much in the way of navigating. Definitely one for a clear day: https://www.countryfile.com/go-outdoors/walks/walk-simonside-hills-northumberland/ Edited May 12, 2023 by Alex 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38677 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I was up there yesterday, Elsdon, Thropton The western end of that valley is a beautiful spot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17721 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I like the Cheviots a but unless you are just after shear solitude, I wouldn't suggest them over what you can get in the Lakes. It's easy to get lost and does feel very desolate. For me Nothumberland is all about the coast line and there you're absolutely spoilt for choice. Examples: Get yourelf stranded on Lindisfarne and walk to the NW beaches which will be deserted. Also the castle, Priory, Mead place, pubs et. Craster to Dunstanburgh castle and back again. Enjoy some kippers and crabs (can be a euphemism if you like) at the Jolly FIsherman. Just in Scotland by St Abbs to Coldingham bay. Bamburgh to Seahouses Alnmouth etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a boat trip from Eyemouth in a rib ( like the inshore lifeboats) that goes up the coast to St. Abbs. It’s a fantastic trip and the cliffs are stunning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17721 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Yeah, that looks fantastic. Just remembered there are issues withbird flu again this year. I think you can take boat trips but you're not allowed to get off at the Farnes which is a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34335 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Just go to Bamburgh, walk along the beach and back, then go to the butcher on the main street and get a big pie on. Eat that as you walk down to the ice cream shop. Eat your ice cream as you walk back to the car. Drive home. That's what I do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebrokendoll 7090 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 out walking the dog earlier and spotted what at first I thought was a buzzard fly from a tree with a large nest in. then from nearby I could hear a very distinctive and repeated distress call, which I knew didn't belong to a buzzard. googled a sparrowhawk's call, nowt like what I could hear. did a bit more research and found it! very pleased with meself, they're really rare.... it's a goshawk! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrokendoll 7090 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 just as a footnote, I should just add that although I was very, very happy with my bird discovery, at no point would I have contemplated putting my willy in its beak. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
