About this page
This page shows a river scene near where I consider 'home'.

It's a 360º panorama of the River Tyne at a place called Haydon Bridge in Northumberland and it's one of a series I produced on our return to the UK.

It's also unique in that it's the only example I know of a MIDI file (since converted to mp3) using the sound of the Northumbrian Pipes on the web. (Correct me if you know otherwise). I couldn't find the right sound so I produced the file myself. If you are a Northumbrian you can find this short file in my Downloads section for use as a ringtone.

Here's your chance to see what the view is like where the old A69 crosses the River Tyne at Haydon Bridge in Northumberland.

The other bridge you can see is the even older single-track one, built in 1773, now used as a footbridge. The picture was taken in October 2001. The yellow building, The Anchor Hotel, is now white.

You earn extra points for spotting the join in the picture! (No, it's not in the middle of the bridge).

You'll have to excuse the audio you are listening to. It's a piece called the Hexham Quadrille and it's my first ever attempt at producing a file supposedly played on the Northumbrian pipes.

Now my question is this - 'Should I make more or forget the idea?'

You are listening to "The Hexham Quadrille" played on the Northumbrian Pipes.
