Four royal trees Four young sycamore trees, well spaced, on the verge of the lane from Otterburn to Bell Busk (the village name sign for the latter can be seen here). From nearest the camera, the dedications are to the late Queen Elizabeth II (2022), the coronation of Charles III (2023), the late Duke of Edinburgh (2021), and the Queen's platinum jubilee (earlier in 2022). A series of royal celebrations and commemorations not likely to be repeated for a long time.

Moorber Lane passing Pot Haw Farm A minor road leaves the A65 at the small settlement of Coniston Cold. Where it's met by a bridleway from the south (Kay Lane), the public nature of the road changes and it continues as Moorber Lane, a bridleway only; the green notice attached to the post tells as much.

Pot Haw Hill Parked in Coniston Cold and walked up to Pot Haw Farm with easy access to the summit through fields with a course set out for horses. Then through similar fields to bag Winterley Cobba. Then joined the bridleway below Stainton Cotes to get back to Coniston Cold. A lovely area to explore even with Martin Richardson. View towards dry stone wall.
