England's Last Wilderness??



Glorious sunshine on Sunday tempted us onto the moorland high above Allendale for a caching walk with Molly. Although the views were hazy. we could still see for miles and all the time we were out, we didn't see another soul.  We were delighted to hear our first curlew of the year and to see more skylarks than we'd seen for some time. Advertising literature describes the North Pennines as "England's Last Wilderness" and although there are other areas that arguably offer a valid challenge to the "last" aspect of the description, the wilderness factor is certainly there in abundance
