Road Sign Restoration
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.

Starting at 10:00am
The A697 will be closed on Monday 26 February 2018, from 9am to 3pm. The closure is from the south end of Powburn to the Glanton junction. This is an ideal time to get in and pick up all the rubbish.
Grey day walk: Branton Lakes
Grey day walk
Winter can be muggy, dark and grey. But it’s still great to get outside and enjoy our open spaces. We’re lucky in the Breamish Valley to have the Branton Lakes Nature Reserve accessible all year round. There’s a growing amount of evidence that just being out in nature improves our sense of well-being. And, for me, today was no exception – I thoroughly enjoyed my grey day walk…
Hay bales at Branton
Hay bales
Well…you know it’s getting close to Autumn when you see the hay bales lined up in the fields.
And ‘meteorological Autumn’ begins tomorrow, 1 September 2017 (see Signs of Autumn for an explanation).
