Jon Sparks<p>Continuing to share favourite images from my 30+ year photographic career. Current focus is on bikes. Getting a bit technical here with off-camera flash and all. Jason Budd in Kielder Forest. Not usually my kind of thing, but I did ride it…<br /><a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/bike" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bike</span></a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>cycling</span></a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/mountainbike" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mountainbike</span></a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/northshore" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>northshore</span></a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/kielder" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>kielder</span></a></p>
mootParadox<p>My first visit to The Nick along <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Kielder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kielder</span></a> Forest Drive. Perfect day to dust off the MTB and see how my legs hold up! 🤣 At 457m (that's 1500 feet to weirdos) it's the highest point along the Forest Drive. Its open-ended design is oriented from Kielder to Byrness. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Northumberland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Northumberland</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MTB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MTB</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Gravel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gravel</span></a></p>
Sarah Dal<p>Then a nice walk back to the car along the Border Counties Line, which I should do more walks along. The line never got much use (allegedly - it was open for 100 years) and was closed in the 1960s when the army stopped using it.</p><p><a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/Northumberland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Northumberland</span></a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/DisusedRail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisusedRail</span></a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/Kielder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kielder</span></a></p>

John Dal<p>Congratulations to my son are in order having completed the arduous Kielder off-road marathon (in Northumberland, NE England) less then 2 weeks after contracting Covid. 4hrs 10 mins, under the circumstances, is a flipping good time. This wa to do this to raise money for Macmillan, having had 2 of his close relatives treated for cancer in the last year. I don't think it's too late to chip in 😉 </p><p><a href="https://www.justgiving.com/page/jamie-dalrymple-1692102567068" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">justgiving.com/page/jamie-dalr</span><span class="invisible">ymple-1692102567068</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Marathon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Marathon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/MacmillanCancerSupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MacmillanCancerSupport</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Kielder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kielder</span></a></p>
John Dal<p>With the Tories in the mire, I was reminded of this amazing 40+year project to restore the Border Mires, peat bogland in N/W Northumberland seriously damaged by the planting of the huge forests around Kielder . They hold more water than Kielder Reservoir. And more carbon than the tank of Rishi Sunaks car. And I'm lucky enough to know the amazing botanist/scientist who instigated the project, Angus Lunn.<br><a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nature</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Northumberland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Northumberland</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Kielder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kielder</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/peatland-restoration-northumberland" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">wildlifetrusts.org/peatland-re</span><span class="invisible">storation-northumberland</span></a></p>

Robscatray<p>Yesterday morning at <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Kielder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kielder</span></a> was beautiful. Our last day on a short break and the snow finally came down hard! Roads were pretty clear so just a slow drive home.

Kris<p>Went for a drive along the <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Kielder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kielder</span></a> Forest trail because it’s been a grey miserable day here so far.
