It's a small world, the incident I described was also in Weardale near
Thimbleby Hill South of Stanhope. I didn't use OSM then and checking OSM

Weardale is a bit hard to define. It is generally thought of as starting at
Wolsingham and running up to the edge of the County Boundary at the high
point above Killhope before dropping down to Nenthead and Cumbria. The
