A lad and his dad sharing video memories on CZcams. Hiking, Camping and a bit of bushcraft.
St Cuthberts Cave.
St Cuthberts Cave is a sandstone Ccave, situated in the Kyloe Hills near Holburn between Belford and Lowick.
The woodlands and cave are the property of the National Trust.
The cave is formed of overhanging rock, sufficiently large to provide shelter for a small group, with a width of 24m and height of 3m. The back wall is 7m from the face and there is a natural rock pillar in the middle of the cave.
This is a place I have been meaning to visit for the last couple of years. A fantastic location and one definitely worth a revisit.
Storm Arwen has clearly wreaked havoc in the woods which changed my route slightly but no major drama.
According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, in 875AD, as the Danes ravaged Lindisfarne and destroyed all the monasteries. Eardulf Bishop of Lindisfarne, and Abbot Eadred, taking the body of St Cuthbert from the island of Lindisfarne, wandered about for seven years."
According to legend, these caves might have been among the places in which either the Monks took shelter with their holy relic or where Cuthbert himself lived as an anchorite hermit before moving to the Farne Islands.

The Roberts Battery Tunnel. Seaton Sluice
zhlédnutí 5KPřed 2 lety
Having heard about the access tunnel, we decided to scope it out. The opening is tricky to spot but it's worth it when you find it and squeeze inside. I researched the history afterwards and am now keen to head back to try and access the rooms beyond. I have added a few old photos at the end of the video so you can see what it was once like. Roberts Battery The Roberts Battery was situated abou...

Thrunton MTB 2021
zhlédnutí 95Před 3 lety
On a school I night, I took the boy and his friends for an evening bimble to Thrunton Woods. I am more than happy with his navigational skills so this again was a good little tester. Me and Mrs Adventure took the scenic route off the main track to scope out a new bivi / hammock spot. I never tire of the place. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07NT77GT... www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08DH917K...

At the end of a long week, I took to the trail and headed North to have a night under the stars in my vintage Goretex hooped bivi. I met up with my mate Kowalski and had a great night. Good food, good company, an open fire and the weather was perfect. Far too hot through the night. Now I'm already looking forward to the next one.
Woodland Practice with Tarps and Hammocks
zhlédnutí 107Před 3 lety
Me and young Mountain Man McGurk spent the afternoon and evening in the woods practicing tarp lines and hanging the hammocks. A few coffees and a meal of open fire cooked steaks with mash, peas n sweetcorn. A perfect school holiday break for the lad and back by midnight. Straight there, Straight back and no human interaction.
Hepburn Woods : A successful failure 💀
zhlédnutí 77Před 3 lety
We went for a night in the woods. A quick Google search revealed an absolute gem of a wood. Loads of history and we were excited to head up. Unfortunately, not knowing the place, we took the wrong shelter and finding a spot was a nightmare. No flat spots and the place we found was clearly not fit for purpose... just rubble below the surface and mega difficult to get the pegs to stay in. After r...

Thrunton Woods 2020

A group of friends enjoying time in the hills. Thrunton Woods is indeed a jewel in the Northumberland landscape. Truly beautiful.
I fished that coast line for 50 yrs and never heard of are seen it
Im currently trying to find the entrance to this
Scary stuff 😂
I was only young when we frequently visit Seaton Sluice ,this would be the sand dunes though .I remember concrete tank stops / bunkers on the sands ( I think ).I think there was a caravan site at Old Hartley ,maybe this was on top of rocky outcrops ??
I don't think the campsite is still there. There are caravans on the other side of the bay though. Thank you for taking time to comment 😊
Great video thanks
Wow had no idea lol
The cliff side was blown up, because we children used to explore! The above ground was covered by machinery. I remember this well. Soft Cock.
Well done 👍 solved a mystery that's been bugging me for years I ve walked over it countless times and never knew where the Roberts Bat was exactly , Cheers
Cool place that plus local think il go for look myself
Theres old folklore about ancient tunnels all over the northeast coastlines
Excellent video and research. Used to go in that tunnel in the 1970's as a kid, before the cliff collapse. We knew it served the gun in the field above, but never knew what it was used for. The plans in the video clearly show it as a drainage tunnel, which totally makes sense. It would be great to see access opened up from above, and the rooms cleared out!
You need to go back, I think the rouble has been moved out and you can get in the other rooms now
Love the old photos, me and my mate just stumbled across it and assumed it was a pit wash out or something, so interesting
interesting, I've been down on that beach many times but never knew about this
Can I ask where did you park?
Morning Aaron. You can park at Holborn Grange. You can then take an easy bimble up to the cave or extend your walk as you see fit. Hope you enjoy it.
I swim weekly at Seaton sluice, I'll check this out next time 👌 thanks
That was a cool urban explore that 👍 you would never know from a quick glance from the sea shore! Enjoyed and Subbed👍 best regards Simon 👍
Very much appreciated and a sub for you too 😊
Great video. On the to do list of places to visit. Thanks
Cheers Paul. We can head back up in a couple of weeks if you fancy, make a day of it
Access is vie the right hand door not left ;) Also, the images you show at the end are mixed with another gun location - one was a mobile rail mounted gun and completely independent of that battery site. Lastly, I strongly advise against entering this battery site now. It's about to be sealed up (if it hasn't already) because people like yourself have openly and publicly described exactly where the entrance is and exactly how to get in. Shot yourself in the foot basically..
Great piece of history. Well done.
Thanks Ian. We'll have to head back @TheTooncat1 .. we can scramble through to the rooms beyond.
Nice hat compo ;)
I bike there quite a lot, my local as some would say it’s getting very popular almost too popular. I’ve always wanted to wild camp up there, such a beautiful part of the county
That's some beautiful woods you got there. I'm excited to see more like this.
Well thank you. I'll be back out soon and I'll make a point of giving you a shout out. Thanks again
👍
Thank you 🙂
Superb. Time to give up the day job 👍
Great video. Brilliant Lad'n'Dad memories with a great set up and decent scran. Top marks!
Well done. Jamie the star again. Love the idea of the clip.
Life is a learning curve ! Sleeping mat :Therm-a-rest Trail Pro : R rating of 4.4 7.5cm thick, All seasons, 29 ounces packs small. Best mat I've ever had. not cheap but well worth it. I always have my Trangia with me and run it on a gas convertor. Fair play for even trying in that.
Great video. I think Jamie needs his own channel though. Natural.
Cheers Paul. I really appreciate the comment
Brilliant, Love it. Well done Jamie, your teaching dad well.
