mootParadoxFirst climb of 2025... perfect conditions at Great Wanney. And it's not often you get to say that!! 😂 My previous nemesis, "Boundary Corner", has finally been conquered! 💪😎 <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Climbing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Climbing</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/TradClimbing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TradClimbing</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Northumberland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Northumberland</a>

Paul EdwinNice gentle one with <a href="https://ohai.social/@ivan_t_dog" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ivan_t_dog</a> this morning. Walking the downhills because his elbows are playing up. And, to be honest, walking a lot of the uphills because my legs are aching. Quite warm when you're sheltered from the breeze, but the wind has a proper bite when you're exposed to it.Had to come back through a field of Belted Galloways, but fortunately they were quite relaxed about us being there.<a href="https://mastodon.beer/tags/Canicross" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canicross</a> <a href="https://mastodon.beer/tags/Wooler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wooler</a> <a href="https://mastodon.beer/tags/WoolerCommon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WoolerCommon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.beer/tags/Northumberland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Northumberland</a>

Russ CheshireA bit of a dynamic coastline thing going on here; Carboniferous sandstone (Seventy Fathom Post Member) 318-315.2 mya, above mudstone, siltstone & sandstone (Pennine Middle Coal Measures Formation) 318-309.5 mya. The North Sea is eroding the coastline very quickly; as global sea levels rise, this may accelerate.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Geology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Geology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Geomorphology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Geomorphology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Northumberland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Northumberland</a>

mootParadoxFrom the rock known as "Main Panel" at Lordenshaws, a close-up to catch the shadow around some of the art.

Paul EdwinBit nippy on the legs for the ride in this morning, but that's what I get for being lazy and not putting proper motorbike trousers on. But it's dry and sunny, and I'll warm up quickly, and I've taken the risk of parking right outside the office again to save time. 🤞<a href="https://mastodon.beer/tags/motorcycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#motorcycle</a> <a href="https://mastodon.beer/tags/BikeCommuting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeCommuting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.beer/tags/Northumberland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Northumberland</a> <a href="https://mastodon.beer/tags/NewcastleUponTyne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewcastleUponTyne</a>

mootParadoxA final shot (for now!) from yesterday's walk, near Gallow Hill, between Aydon and Corbridge. I've photographed these trees before, but the last time was on a frosty, misty day; in black and white! 😀 <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Photography</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Northumberland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Northumberland</a>

mootParadoxAydon Castle usually opens from April onwards, and is only viewable from outside the walls at present. Half-manor, half-castle, it's in a great location... although if you dislike the smell of wild garlic, you might want to avoid the dene behind the castle! 😂 <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Northumberland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Northumberland</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Castle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Castle</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Photography</a> <a href="https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/aydon-castle/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/aydon-castle/</a>

Paul EdwinIf you're somewhere near Northumberland, UK, and need a "project" motorbike to keep you busy over the summer, then have I found a deal for you: Kawasaki ZX-6R J2, spares or repair | eBay <a href="https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335884506898" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335884506898</a>Disclaimer: yes, he's a friend of mine.
