Day Three on the The Cambrian Way mountain trail 479 km (298 miles) with a total ascent of 22,460 m (73,700 ft). I think it could be Britain's hardest long distance trail. Its hard to say but looking at the map i think i started todays episode around the Mynydd Garnclochdy area i want give exact camping locations away. I was so wet from the rain all night i set about getting ready to walk around 4am just to keep warm. I was no risk at cold from the time of Year and in good health. So walked back up towards Mynydd Garnclochdy i think. The rain came back on top the hill. The rain was very bad so much so i could only see about couple of meters ahead what with the mist as well as the dark even with two powerful lights. By this time my cannon camera was destroyed by the weather i should know by now and my phone was useless take note people think phone navigation fine lucky i know this i used my garmin fenix3 gps watch with the track loaded onto so i knew i was heading in the general dir...

A night spent wild camping by Kershope Burn in Kershope Forest which i will be walking along and in all day long. On the way i passed on the wrong side the border to get to Kershopehead bothy however it is very possible to cross the burn but i was tired with a big bag and sent the drone up top get some footage i ended up camping right by Kershope Burn border river again by the bridge that goes over the the burn to England and the start of Kielder Forest. Today at my wild camping spot i thought i test out my idea of attaching a 4g wifi router to a drone in a area with no signal in the hope of picking up some 4g did it work? well watch the video!
Kershope Burn is a burn running in its entirety along the border between England and Scotland.
Kershopehead bothy near by murder. Thomas Davidson lived at Kettle Hall on the moors in the north east extremity of Cumberland in the parish of Bewcastle. On Thursday morning, November 8th 1849, Davidson left his home to make his usual rounds, He told his wife the direction he was taking in case Armstrong, the game keeper upon whose orders Davidson worked, should wish to meet him on the fells.
Thomas Davidson did not return home that Thursday evening and a search was started the following morning. It was two days later when the body was found near Wysefield sheepfold, about two miles from his home. He had been strangled with his own neckerchief and left lying face downwards, in a pool of blood.
Three suspects were rounded up: James Hogg, a notorious poacher, who three weeks prior had been fined for shooting without a game certificate, on Davidson’s evidence, his cousin, Nicholas Hogg (alias John Nichol) and the 24 year old, Andrew Turnbull. After a lengthy inquest all three were accused of wilful murder and imprisoned in Carlisle gaol to await committal to the assizes. Three days later Turnbull, who had always pleaded his innocence, hanged himself in his cell. Beneath the window he had written. “The two Hoggs are guilty. I am innocent. I will not come in the hands of man.”
A great deal of local interest was aroused when the two accused were brought to trial at the Cumberland Spring Assizes the following year. Proceedings were lengthy but eventually a verdict of not guilty was returned. Soon after the trial both James Hogg and John Nichols left the country. No one was brought to justice for the foul murder of the Bewcastle gamewatcher.
Kershopehead bothy was built between 1814 and 1831 when Bailey Hope common was enclosed by William John Charlton of Hesleyside, Northumberland. it was occupied in the year 1841 by no fewer than nine people! John and Angus Rutherford with their four children shared this one bedroom dwelling with two others plus one farmworker. Certainly a house full! In 1920 Kershhopehead, along with the surrounding area was bought by the Forestry Commission.
