#HillfortsWednesday with the Ramparts of Humpleton Hill, #Northumberland
Other than the gorgeous views, was a distinct satisfaction getting to climb this as last time we were in the college valley area this is the one major hillfort we didn't get time for
It has been brought to my attention by @sheepnik that #today is the first anniversary of the Defaidodon hashtag, so I give you fair warning that I will be spamming my account with pictures of sheep. First up is this fleecy beauty #Defaidodon#SheepOfMastodon#Northumberland
It’s my MastoBirthday! I joined one year ago #today. I’ve already met more lovely people here, and had way more enjoyable conversations, than I did in over 10 years on another site so thank you everyone for that. These pictures seem to sum up most of my posts over the past year #cake#SheepOfMastodon#Northumberland#Walking#ukPol
4 Nov 1605: Thomas Percy dines #otd with the Earl of #Northumberland, his distant relative, to check if the forthcoming Gunpowder Plot is still undiscovered.
Slightly interesting that when the landmark Sycamore Gap tree in Northumberland was chopped down, most people were like "Bloody kids! Have they nothing better to do!?"
But so far, of the four people who have been arrested in connection with the case, one is over 60, two are in their 30s, and just one is 16 years old.
Magnificent Bamburgh Castle on the Northumberland coast bathed in the golden hues of some late afternoon sunshine. Love the sense of scale conveyed by the group of figures walking along the beach.
The stone circle at Duddo, Northumberland, just before Storm Babet’s fingers took hold of the country. Even so, it was pretty windy atop that hill, looking back on 4,000 years. Despite the gale, we didn’t hear the stones sing, as they’re reputed to do…
Pictures 2 to 4 feature three of the five stones. On the last, there are visible cup marks.
