Although it's one of the best-preserved Roman forts in the UK I'm not that interested in it per se. It's the stone circle nearby, that I abentmindedly 'curate', that fascinates. There's many monuments in this valley and getting Google Map centred round about there is a big jump forward. I should be able to date the imagery by what is there and what's not. (A recent roadbuilding programme helps there). I see the satellites flying over - and the little stuff wanders over to have a look at my camp, singleseaters, microlights and rescue helicopters.

No, it just runs out of steam, and it's a pre-2000 image. The Multimap aerial image is better and goes to 1:5000 around there. It takes some coaxing though !

One of the Microlights that flies over me has taken some photgraphs of Long Meg from the air (M. Portal have them) so there is someone active in the area. I'm concentrating on imaging the ancient craft of drystone walling, on Kodachrome, before it disappears.
