Northumberland National park   Susan's Work for the National Park


As part of my DoE service I have been a volunteer for the Northumberland National Park. Throughout the year I have worked on a range of projects all over the National Park.

The Park VolunteersThis was building a fishing platform for the disabled at Falstone, below Kielder Water.

Cuddy's WellRestoring the footpath by Cuddy's Well, Bellingham, on a very cold winter's day.

Christmas CarolsThere is the annual walk with mince pies in which I played my tin whistle as the musical accompaniment to carols. This is a short strole up Hareshaw Linn, Bellingham.

Working on SimonsideThe most recent project was on Simonside, beginning to flood a moss (bog) again by putting in plywood dams. As you can see the weather wasn't brilliant.
