Hats off for tackling it Steve. I just wouldn't know where to start. I trust you're well mate. ATB Mark

Hi, Willow Bog Cottage is private property. As one of the leaseholders I would appreciate it greatly if you would respect this and not encourage others to visit. Kind Regards!

Mind where ye park on the Scots side, bonny lad. There's more Karen's between 3 houses on that side o' the hill, than the entire population 'o Ponte-vegas. Mind tae, there's a decent verse, on the other side 'o that border stane, by a real poet, called Burns!

I’m copying and pasting this reply to every vid on this matter. I literally hadn’t thought about this shit until I found my neckerchief whilst sorting my mam’s loft out and was talking about Malcolm’s ghost stories when he used to take us away with the scouts of Silver Lonen. Sorry to kill this whole lore but I have to make a confession here. Basically, our scout group was from Silver Lonen in Newcastle. Our scout leader Malcolm Landreth (I think that’s how it was spelt, it’s been about 24 years) he would rent out this cottage at weekends. This exact narrative the fella in the other vids about the bridges and reavers etc is what I wrote in a completely fabricated article on TheShadowLands about 20 years ago. I can’t believe I’ve caused all this nonsense 🤣

beautiful place for a walk

Alright there Steve - just catching for the week. Hope it's been good and the dogs alright now. Yeah, small little things impact upon us all eh bro? Take care. Mark

I need to do some North Yorkshire hikes... there are an increasing number of places I wouldn't mind checking out some day

Love the way the dogs listening to you Steve at the start. Ha ha! Bro that was interesting. You know I respect you steve but you just spat some wrapping out onto the ground. If everyone did that the car park would be a mess with little bits of wrapping. I put the small pieces in my pocket even. The fruit looked nice. All the best as always steve. Peace. Mark

That's gotta be the nicest path through the bleakest moorland I've seen Steve. I trust you're well bro. Looked nice out albeit a bit windy. Mark

Good to see it - we tried to get to it last summer from the Kirk Newton side but gave up when we got bogged down in undergrowth & brambles just downstream of the fall!

Thanks for sharing - looks a really nice walk. We noticed generators at the various farms when we walked over to Trowupburn the other week - must be an ongoing issue.

Cracking valley Steve. Water coming in from everywhere - nice spot to sit too. Re-the dogs they're both different but great in their own way. He'll maybe warm to the water. Well, have a great week ahead bro. All the best. Mark

Loving that valley and forest steve. It looks nice and gnarly bro. The dogs proving to be a good companion as it inspires memories of Khan. Ah, lovely that. Well, just popping in mate - have a great week ahead. Mark

I was there today. A real shame if it's allowed to fall to pieces. It looks OK , a few holes in the roof to fix. Let's hope the National Trust sort it. BR John

You gotta watch that car insurance Steve. You think it covers something and it doesn't. Well, good to see you out training the dog. A bit disobedient there bro. He's still young - reckon he'll get it. Take care - have a great rest of the week. Mark

Ive had aortal stump replacement on my heart so im a bit like you

Brilliant spot mate

I still need to visit Gunnerside one day

Blimey that went quick steve - I enjoyed that. Some lovely back country there - not the type of place you 'd see tourists. Gotta say the dog was behaving - as you said he'll grow to be a good companion. Have a great week ahead mate. Mark

A fairly bleak looking area at the start Steve - started getting interesting in the forest. I hope you're well mate. Have a good week ahead. Mark

I enjoyed that steve - it's a cracking valley and ultimately falls. It reminds me of Mid Wales. I hope you're well mate. Take care out there. Mark

The only thing I have found that solved the problem quickly, was to hire a cat or 2.. about 3 days and the main problem was over with.. after that they found out that there was a cat on duty and no more mice in the house, and no rats either, I had only seen mice, but someone had said they had seen rats next door.

I hope this solves your current situation, but long term is going to have to have your neighbors deal with there problem as well.

Just popping into wish you happy new year steve and a great v2024. Hope it's full of awesome adventures bro. Thanks for all the videos ands support this year. All the best - see you out there mud and all. Mark

Hey, them waters are looking epic steve. Just popping in to see how you're getting on and to wish you a good day tomorrow and a great 2024. Here's to more freedom. Take care bro. All the best. Mark

lovely spot of snow steve. Gotta go steady on them icy paths. I have to say your new dog there appears stronger than the previous or more excitable. I imagine he'll mellow out. Good to see you back out filming. Take care bro. All the best. Mark
