Re: Northumberland

What are 'cup & ring' rocks?
My Nellie would be in ecstasy in that environment.

Re: Northumberland

These are rock carvings, their meaning lost in time. Suggestions vary from maps of other settlements in the area to simple art.

Re: Northumberland

If I were still in the UK Northumberland is undoubtedly where I would choose to live. I did look at a few houses there once, but things changed and I ended up moving here instead.

Re: Northumberland

Yes, it certainly looks a lovely place Ania.
Perhaps Nom will show me round one day.

Re: Northumberland

Thank you for the link. What strange carvings they are. I wonder what tools they would have used to do them with, and why they did it?

Is your cave one of the prehistoric strongholds Nom?

Re: Northumberland

This is the third series missed them all, i do like Robson Green as a presenter, ive seen a few of his mad fishing series, and remember him from Casualty. (Ah Duffy, swoon)

Re: Northumberland

Surprisingly there are very few caves in Northumberland, the most famous being St Cuthberts cave.

Re: Northumberland

Is that how you found your cave? Were you one of the monks with St. Cuthbert?
No wonder you feel old and tired.
