- This hike explores an unusual area, starting off with an ascent to the top of Middlehope Moor. From there we continue to Black Hill, then traverse across a truly isolated part of the North Pennines, Middlehope Head. From there the hike continues across Wolfcleugh Common till we reach Groverake, the last of the lead mines in Weardale. The journey concludes with a visit to Frasers Hushes, site of old hush mines before returning to the starting point.
Total Distance :- 6.32miles (10.17km)
Summits achieved :-
Black Hill 1982ft (604m)
What a timeless place. Watching gives just a taste of the awesome solitude.
Thanks Duncan.
Thanks, the amount of solitude in the North Pennines is unbelievable at times, can hike for 12 hours or more and never see another person, it is truly fantastic to experience.
A beautiful place to be. I always feel at home up there, at ease with the world, truly a beautiful place 😊
It is gorgeous up there, I adore the isolation and leaving the normal world behind whilst in the mountains, a real hidden gem 😊
again,another great video we've done that root too about 10 years ago.hoping my brother gets his act together so we can go hiking again. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES DUNCAN.
No problem, glad I am reviving old memories of happy times with your brother, here's hoping he recovers soon to allow yous to make fresh memories 😊
Enjoyed that, thanks Duncan. Definitely an area I'd like to explore. TFS :)
Thanks, it is a lovely area that is often overlooked, although I have done a few videos on the area there is still so much left to explore 😊
Lovely video of an area I know well. I'm lucky enough to live just down the valley in Wolsingham, and I'm still exploring. Cheers.
Thanks, it is a lovely area to explore and so vast that you never see the same scenery twice
Nice one Duncan 👍👌
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
Really well composed video as always Duncan. Incredible open and wide views once more. I'm planning to come back in a couple of weeks and maybe hope to re-visit the Shepherd's Hut. I wonder if you'll be nearby......
Thanks, the views really are expansive and open, well worth a visit. If you are heading back to the area hit me up on the email address in the about section, sure we can arrange something...😉
Brilliant Duncan love that area I was at Wolfcleugh farm not long back
Thanks, it is such an isolated area and so peaceful, hope you enjoyed your time there as much as I did 😊
