Two teams of volunteers in the region have pleaded with the public to act responsibly as restrictions begin to ease. Volunteers from both the Northumberland National Park and the North of Tyne Mountain Rescue Teams have asked members of the public to behave sensibly when visiting the area over the next few weeks. The pleas have also been made ahead of this weekend’s Easter bank holiday weekend which is set to see more people visit the area. We’re asking the public to be prepared and be adventure smart when they head out into the hills this Easter.” said Iain Nixon, team leader for Northumberland National Park Mountain Rescue Team.

A local astronomer is keen for Hexham to become England’s first Dark Sky Town. Wil Cheung, who runs stargazing events at The Twice Brewed Inn, said the town was “perfectly placed” in between the Northumberland National Park and North Pennines AONB to become a Dark Sky Town. The UK Parliament’s All-Party Parliamentary Group for Dark Skies was formed last year and exists to fight light pollution to protect our dark skies for future generations. Their ‘Ten Dark Sky Policies for the Government’ policy plan includes creating a ‘Dark Sky Towns & Cities’ initiative, which would give local government the power to go further to reduce light pollution by creating a voluntary ‘Dark Sky Town/City’ classification.

He knew that he would find his favourite trainee duo in this watering hole for weekend pints of dark amber bitter or stout, the choice being dictated by how taxing the week had been, followed by wholesome steak and kidney pie. Meanwhile, our conservative and abstemious colleagues stayed at the Training College and watched TV before an unexceptional meal. Being on the inside track as Deputy Course Coordinator, he had gathered that our next outing would be to Scotland. The Lothian and Borders Police, headquartered in Edinburgh, had confirmed their ability to host our batch of 10 Police Command Course attendees over four days, despite pressure on accommodation due to a tourist season in full flush.
