The first 3 miles of the walk were along the old railway which is now narrow gauge |
At a bridge over the Gilderdale Burn we crossed from Cumberland into Northumberland |
The Gilderdale Burn just before it joins the South Tyne |
The points at a siding just outside Kirkhaugh Station |
This is the Station at Kirkhaugh. I was very impressed with the main station at Alston and it seems they have spent a lot of money doing it up. It has a lovely cafe and new toilet facilities. |
For the return journey to Alston we followed the Pennine Way which was a most enjoyable walk with some good views |
At the highest point of the walk we stopped to have a snack but the wind had got up admit was bitterly cold |
Near Alston we passed this lovely tree in full autumn colours |
The train that was running along the line today |
