On Thursday 27th September a sizable chunk of us at brasher enjoyed a few, fun filled hours, out on The Cheviot Hills.

Three groups of us tramped to the top of Simonside, in just over two hours (and several tired legs later.)

It gave us the chance to test our navigation skills (or lack of in some cases!) with the more experienced brasherites amongst us, sharing their knowledge about how to correctly read a map and use a compass.

On the way back after helping to look for a lost dog, with the unfortunate name of Jinx who hopefully found his way back to his owners!

We all met up and drove to a nearby pub, The Anglers Arms at Weldon Bridge, where we had a delicious, and fortifying meal before heading home for a much needed rest.

On the whole it was a great day out which was enjoyed by all.

We don't normally look like this. When this shot was taken, we were all practicing our synchronised Kendal Mint Cake munching skills.
