[DtheP47]

A few days away from the madding crowds up in the wilds of Northumberland.
Drovers Inn, real ale, pub grub and great walks. Dark skies at night, stargazers delight.
What's not to like?
Hadrian's Wall from the Barbarian's side.
Black Middens one of the best preserved bastles the fortified 16th century farmhouses built to defend the border lands from the reivers.
A not so well preserved bastle with a quenching hole above the door to put out any fires lit against it by the raiders.
Unusual fungus ? Any help identifying it appreciated.
The walk up through ancient woodland to the Hareshaw Linn waterfall with the bonus of seeing a group of roe deeer high up on the ravine.
