In Ros Hill Wood

On Millstone Hill. Walking on the open rides is easy but against the grain almost impossible.

The wood to the right has been clear felled leaving large heaps of brash.

Boundary Stone at corner of dry stone wall

The stone is marked N (Duke of Northumberland) 1859 on this side and T (Tankerville Estate) on the other side. A number of substantial dry stone walls were built in 1859.

Beyond the valley is Chattonpark Hill with its cup and ring marked rocks.

Weird animals on Whinny Knowe

On first sight they looked like long necked deer, llamas perhaps, but on closer inspection they are game bird feeders fixed to stakes.

Massive bridge

Where a now little used track from Bellshill to Chillingham crosses the Shielhope Burn. This was once a more important route.

The cattle were really engrossed in the game, but wandered off after about 8 overs when it became obvious that they were not going to get fed by the funny men in white. What tickled me was that when I arrived, they were at Cow Corner. Unfortunately the best shots that I got was when the bowling was from the other end and they were at Deep Backward Point. A lovely ground.

Damage, Chatton Bridge

Concrete barrier where a car hit the bridge a few days earlier. There is a nasty bend here.

View from the boundary (road) during a match. The cattle were massed in two fields opposite and taking interest for a few overs before dispersing. They would be at Cow Corner for a right handed batsman at the other end.
