Hag Wood

Guaranteed 100% orienteer proof! A surviving wood that is either thickly planted young sitka, or dense gorse - or both. 100% fight! No doubt a good winter refuge for wildlife.

Footpath sign, Foulden Hag

A sign just like the ones they have "next door". Taken from a useful bypass path avoiding a lot of farm buildings, and the gorse of Hag Wood.

Old workshops still in use. Track leads over the southern flank of Deanshill eastward towards England.

Hutton Bridge

High crossing of the Whiteadder. A new deck was placed on the piers in the 1980s.

Woodland, Broadmeadows

The steep slopes of the Whiteadder dean are usually wooded. The track runs down to Hutton Mill.

Ploughed field, Clarabad

Flat farmland above the deep dean of the Whiteadder. The newly ploughed land will have benefited from the recent long frost breaking up the soil.

View downstream from Hutton Bridge. The steep slopes are wooded on both sides of the river, which has cut down a long way from the general land level here.

Base Transmitting Station

Although not shown on the (current) OS Landranger, this monopole Cellular Base Station appears to have been recently erected. It is owned by Crown Castle Communications and service leased to mobile operators, most probably O2.
