220: Alston and the South Tyne Valley (North Pennines 2023)

NORTH PENNINES WALK FEATURING ALSTON AND THE SOUTH TYNE VALLEY
"Alston and the South Tyne Valley”
Filmed 7th September 2023
Post-production completed 13th October 2023
My fourth North Pennines film takes me to the South Tyne Valley in the counties of Cumbria and Northumberland.
Starting and ending in the beautiful town of Alston, I walk another section of the Pennine Way (as I had done in the previous three North Pennines films), and then follow a route alongside the South Tynedale Railway.
Filmed in the North Pennines in the counties of Cumbria and Northumberland. Locations include lston, the ruins of Epiacum Roman Fort and the South Tynedale Railway.
Written, presented, researched, directed, camera and sound, edited and music by Patrick Leach.
Special thanks to Brian Conduit, John Brooks, Neil Coates, Visit Cumbria and South Tynedale Railway for their information used in my research for this film.

"The Solitary Rambler" is my series of amateur films of my journeys in the countryside accompanied by my own musical scores, which I compose and perform on my Yamaha keyboard.
Please note that, as with all the films I make, this is not actually intended to be an extensive guide to the area. This is a mini-movie of my personal journey along the walk, in which I often share some of my own personal stories.
If you are new to my channel, I strongly recommend reading the description under the “about” tab, which will provide a clearer understanding of what to expect in my films: / solitaryrambler
There is also a short “Introduction to the Solitary Rambler” video, which briefly explains what my films are all about: / solitaryrambler
