Discovering The Source of the River Tyne and I Wild Camp There!

Finding out you were a military man made a lot of sense Eddy. You strike me as having the aura of someone who has served in the armed forces. Thank you for your service!

I've said it before but the professional quality of these videos is incredible for one bloke. And it's being made by someone who clearly cares about our region. Also, gotta respect a man who observed the 5 second rule.

[@TynesideLife]

Haha! Cheers Thomas 👊🏻👍🏻

[@michaelsharp1371]

As a Daft as a Brush volunteer driver it's great to see you doing our walk Eddy...thank you for the great advertisement and really kind words for the charity

[@TynesideLife]

Thank you Michael, that’s really appreciated ☝️👊🏻👍🏻

[@PEG2610]

I was born and bred in that area. Lived in bottom Kielder village from early 70s until 2000. My family still live there. In the summers we loved going swimming in the Tyne, as kids we were taught to respect the river and how dangerous the river could be. Great memories

[@arkaywat11]

Just subbed, looking forward to following your walk. I'm a nearly was Geordie. Moved to Low Fell as a young boy in 72 from Teesside, left in 76 but I loved every minute of it and still feel a strong affinity with the area! Just in case you're wondering, it's the Toon but Boro get my quiet support!

I am loving your content mate. This is one reason I don't have a tv licence.

was up Kielder two weeks ag, great scenery n stuff, I'm sure I could smell that cooking through my computer ha, loved it Eddy

[@martinwarner1178]

Just found your work Eddy. Really interested, I have canoed the river Trent, right down to the Humber, so always excited about seeing subjects like this. I have found, in my long life, that the finest people in Britain are found in, and around Newcastle. Peace and goodwill.

[@TynesideLife]

Cheers Martin 👊🏻👍🏻

[@LeeStewart]

We are really lucky to have such natural green beauty in Northumberland. The biggest in England.

[@Beefkilz]

Fellow Geordie here. Great video. Me and my mother were wondering where the Tyne starts the other day funny enough and now we know. Now I am going to go take my dog for a walk around there this weekend. Can't wait. Also very nice of whoever to leave a camera set up for you for when you reached the border sign. 🤣

[@TynesideLife]

A real stroke of luck! 😃

[@Steph-wq9it]

Hi Eddy, looks like a great adventure. I remember going on a school trip many years ago, starting off at the source of the south Tyne, up somewhere on the Alston moors. Now I have come to realise that the North Tyne & South Tyne meeting of the waters near warden! It was quite a sight on a walk during the covid pandemic’. For some reason I hadn’t twigged that there were two sources to the River Tyne to make one😂

[@TynesideLife]

☝️👍🏻

[@LAMF24]

Garrigill isn't the source of the South Tyne. Tynehead is on the Northern flanks of Cross Fell, very, very close to the sources of the Wear and Tees. Talking of Cross Fell, an overnight in Gregg's Hut would be a good bothy adventure.

[@TynesideLife]

👍🏻

[@michaelboys2602]

Wow, Ed. This sounds amazing. Cannot wait for your next videos.

[@TynesideLife]

[@blackadder1966]

Perhaps you can answer the eternal question:'Do geordies shit in the woods' originally from hexham ive been at the meeting of the 2 rivers a lot. Now in Qld. Brings back memories, i taught my twin daughters to ride a bike on the road from Warden To Tyne green where the rivers meet.

[@peanutismint]

Cheers for these vids Eddy. I’m a fellow KZbinr originally from Gateshead but now living out in Seattle in the USA and your videos are really helping me stay connected to my home of the North East! ❤

Great vid. For a future adventure, I can’t recommend walking the south Tyne trail as well as this highly enough. Beautiful walk alongside the south Tyne trail along the old railway bed through the picturesque Pennines 👍

I like this sort of thing. I watch a lot of Liam Brown videos and the wild camping element, there is something about it that feels amazing. I love your history and facts about the area you can tell it’s well researched keep them coming

Love your informative videos. Would you consider making a video about the Roundheads and cavaliers. Some believe that this is when the Newcastle and Sunderland divide and division began. 😊

Looking forward to this series of vids! Always loved exploring the North Tyne area but weirdly have hardly ever explored the south Tyne area. Will make up for that one day. Would love to join the pub crawl, but the Metro journey from Canada to back home is a tad expensive for an afternoon/night on the booze!

I've been up there star gazing.The South Tyne begins up much more impressive Cross Fell at 893m as does the Tees.The Wear begins somewhere around Burnhope Seat so a tiny bit less altitude than the other two.I've seen those Daft as a Brush vans at the RVI and Freeman as I have a rare T Cell Lymphoma,most are B Cell , and am a regular visitor to both Newcastle hospitals and the James Cook in Middlesbrough too.
