Walked with the Haltwhistle walkers today as I usually do on a Wednesday. It was very misty when I left home but improved a bit in Allendale, then the mist came down again. Despite the lack of views we had a very good walk and had the opportunity for seeing quite a bit of nature en route.

We saw a small copse all in white - looked like some sort of willow with seeds like cotton wool. We saw sheep, cows, horses too. There were multiple styles, many very slippery, and loads of lichens and mosses.
