A697 road sign restoration
I’ve known about this road sign on the A697 in Crawley Dene for a few years. It’s been at the side of the road, partially knocked down the embankment and in a bit of a sorry state.
Litter Picked!
Litter picked from A697
Following yesterday’s appeal for help to do a Litter Pick on the A697, Robbie Burn has sent the following message and photo.
The villagers of Powburn today took advantage of the A697 being closed for repairs. Nine people turned up and picked up litter from both sides of the road from Powburn to the Glanton junction. As you can see from the photo they have done a magnificent job.

Spectacular Northumberland snowdrops
It’s that time of the year again – when snowdrops appear seemingly everywhere along the Breamish Valley and throughout Northumberland.
The conditions seem to have been just right as there is a spectacular display of snowdrops this year.

The Early Adder (2018)
Early adder at Branton
In 2015, I saw my first basking adder of the new season on 8 March 2015.
In 2016, it was around the same time of the year on 12 March 2016 that the basking adders were back.
