At long last we are back in the Wednesday walking routine after all my travels. Last week the "Last of the Summer Wine" walkers had sponsored a Lecture at the Buccleuch Centre called "Ribbon of Wildness" about Scotland's watershed. Tom therefore decided we should walk the first part of it at Peel Fell on the Border near Northumberland. We headed off to Keilder on a beautiful morning. Tom thought it would be a 6 mile walk with a fairly steep climb. It tuned out to be a 10 mile walk climbing almost to 2000ft and 4 miles of it were on a bog with the going very difficult. It was however a superb day's walking, but we were all extremely tired at the finish and my hips will be sore for a few days. This photograph is taken at the Reivers Stane on the way to Peel Fell
