Sand Force

Fence with gate and sculpture The gate is approached by a bridleway which joins an estate road beyond. Pedestrians can avoid opening the gate by using a stile that isn't obvious in the image - it passes through the sculpture going behind the left hand sheep and pillar.

Wall and fence east of Green Fell A fence has run along the ridge line east-south-east from Green Fell to this point where a wall continues in the same direction. Unusually, from the same point there's a parallel fence close to the wall, some two or three metres from it. The fence was clearly put in place long after the wall and the wall is in good condition. The fence has been erected for some reason; it's hard to fathom what.

Wall with 'hogg hole' above Wemmergill Beck The term 'hogg hole' is perhaps more properly a Lake District one than from Teesdale where the image was recorded. It refers to a hole through a dry stone wall at ground level which can allow sheep of a certain size to pass from one side to the other; holes can be closed with slabs of stone as in this case. The distant slopes rise to Green Fell which is part of the greater hill, Bink Moss. Wemmergill Beck lies to the south (left in the photo) which drains the eastern side of Bink Moss. (Note: Hogg is an abreviation for hogget which Wikipedia defines as... "a sheep of either sex having no more than two permanent incisors in wear". Nothing to do with pigs!)
