Storm Arwen at Hanging Crag The storm took its toll of this small stand of pine trees. The exposure that made it such a landmark was also its undoing. It used to look like <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/477395">NU0721 : Hanging Crag</a>

Circular stone trough This trough, carved in the bedrock, is about 1.5m in diameter and 0.3m deep. It's now filled with earth and weeds but 13 years ago it was almost empty. It's almost at the centre-point of the semicircle that forms the eastern hill fort. I have no definite idea of its purpose; a water tank perhaps? Pillbox in the background.

Path through valley of Harehope Burn The Harehope Burn is the main stream draining the southern part of the low-level moorland area north of Eglingham. South-east of the ruins at Blawearie it enters a rocky passage where a path has been created involving stretches of boardwalk and bridges of the sort seen in the image. There's a small amount of easy scrambling needed as well. The route isn't a public footpath but it's entirely over access land.

Wall and tracks rising to Nun Law Nun Law is a minor feature of the low-level moorland of Bewick Moor. The tracks have been created by the passage of vehicles and will be concerned with the shoot which operates on the estate.
