I love fell running and there’s nowhere better than a run out from Upper Coquetdale and along the border ridge, taking in Beefstand Hill and Windy Gyle. The views are incredible and you’ve a good chance to see some Cheviot wild goats or a raven overhead and afterwards a rewarding pint at the Rose & Thistle in Alwinton.....heaven!
