For an unassuming trig this was quite nice after a warm sunny afternoon at Cragside. Parked in wide bay by barn at ominously named Throat Wood. "We'll just stay in the car, dear." 2 hares in the field by the trig but wasn't quick enough to photograph them. Scrumptious tea at Anglers' Arms afterwards.
