galavanting bluetit

so today i looked out the window and spotted 

this wee baby bluetit 

newly fledged demanding food

and the adult duly arrived 

and fed it 

then off it disappeared 

galavanting in Alnwick

a couple of shots of the castle from an angle not many have used

from round the back lane which in the past was not open to the public and was a dead end it now leads to the carpark  and back entrance to the gardens

galavanting to the end of the walk

we stopped at Birdoswald fort to wait for my husband to pass through the 20 mile mark

the site was closed for the day so i had to shoot from afar the wee bit i could see

and we ended up at Lanercost Priory

Aplace I nery much want to return to and explore when its open to the public and not crowded out with all the fantastic fundraisers and support staff at 6.30pm onwards

galavanting in the quarry

there was a small meadow by the quarry pool 

with marsh orchids

of different varieties

and the ducklings are getting very big

while the adults are in eclipse so cant fly

galavanting along the wall

the wall snakes up and down hill 

and this section goes past Cawfields Quarry, the event is Macmillan Cancer Mighty Hike 

25 miles along the wall, and this was the lunch stop half way along the route

the views were amazing from the wee bit I managed to clamber up to 

the walkers looking like ants as they came over the brow of the far hill, they took on average 10 mins from that hill top to where i was sat as it dips way down and then back up and along the top of the winsill before they dropped down to the quarry stop.

galavanting at Hadrian's wall

the barracks at Chesters Roman Fort

the changing rooms at the baths

the whole of the baths complex from below

the bridge abutment across the water from the fort

the hypercorse and here are fowk thinking we invented underfloor heating!

galavanting at night
