Please tag your photos and upload them to the British and Irish Mountains group on Flickr
The other photos have been geo-tagged as on or around the summit. For less busy mountains, it can be a little hit and miss.
In the middle of nowhere
Northumberland is the least densely populated county in England and Wales (according to populationdata.org.uk) with just 170 people per square mile, compared with 14,690 per sq. mile in Greater London! So it's pretty easy to avoid not just the crowds but any human interaction at all, which is what our walking group achieved on Wednesday of this week! This particular 'wilderness area' lies between Alwinton a few miles to the south and the Scottish border a mile or two to the north (behind me). Not an area I'd like to be in on my own if the mist came down since there are few defining landmarks! But it does have a wild beauty. 100x 2022- Northumberland 50/100 - halfway! Somehow i don't think that I'm going to get to the finishing line before the cut-off time 😄

2308 Windy Gyle
Parked in car park beside the minor road to the SE of Brownhart Law with an armed guard. Then Brownhart Law, Blackhall Hill, Raeshaw Fell, Lamb Hill, Callaw Cairn, Beefstand Hill, Mozie Law, Windy Rig, Windy Gyle, Ward Law and Shorthope Hill before returning to my car below Barrow Burn before returning to collecting Adrian Dust’ s car back at our start. Just a fantastic two car walk.

- Data: Database of British and Irish Hills v18.2
- Maps: We use OS mapping for England, Scotland, Wales, and the Isle of Man. Sadly, Channel Islands, Northern (OSNI) and Southern Ireland (OSI) mapping isn't available online, so we use Openstreetmap.
