Lumley Park Burn

We took the footpath beside the burn, rather than the Weardale Way, which runs parallel but a little further up in the woods. Lush vegetation mixed with debris, fly tipping and the odd old tyre can be found within and beside the stream.

A maiden century at The Riverside

Late on the second day of a County Championship match, Nottinghamshire's young all-rounder Lyndon James turned a ball to leg for a single to reach his first First Class century. With opener Ben Slater, who went on to score 225 not out (his first double century), James shared a partnership of 220 for the fourth wicket, enabling the visitors to declare with a large first-innings lead the following afternoon and bowl out Durham cheaply to win by an innings with a day to spare. Durham (230 and 117) lost to Notts (488 for 9 declared) by an innings and 141 runs.

Greene King's corporate branding eschews the apostrophe, so the Grade II listed 18th-century public house - closed and boarded up - is The Queens Head. The picture was taken from the corner of Low Chare on an April morning.
