Briar Walkabout

Friday November 29

Finally a bright day after what seems like weeks of grim.

Had to get out and explore the local river walk, The Teesdale Way no less!


These houses over on Coniscliffe Road have stupendous rear gardens and terraced balconies.





The water at the weir has a weird and wonderful gloss.  Like polished cobalt.





 Followed by a walk to Sainsburies later on and #29 back (sausage mission)

5 miles

Lucky Seven

This year sets a new record for the number of visits to;

Scot Crags - Scugdale

Been out of the loop for several weeks of house moving.  So jumped at the chance to join in with those rufty tufty Boro blokes on one of their regular outings to this reliably satisfying venue.  Seventh heaven....

Add it to the list!
