The Roman military way showing as a green terrace as it heads towards Knag Burn and climbs up to Housesteads fort #HadriansWall #romanroads

The Roman kiln firing was a challenge with the high winds but immensely rewarding and it was great to have folk stopping to chat. Fired items will be available in the Museum shop and the potted History website so you can grab yourself a beautiful replica made under the shadow of…

A wander along past Sewingshields farm on the Hadrian’s Wall trail, turret 34b lies incorporated into the buildings. Parts of wall core visible under the more modern field walls #HadriansWall

I’m still trying to figure out why Travelodge UK still insists on guests being charged for WiFi with dial up speed provided by Virgin Media 🐐

At milecastle 34 the north ditch of #HadriansWall ends abruptly as the wall begins its climb onto Sewingshields Crags making the ditch redundant. Breaks like this can be seen all along the central crags but here it is most pronounced #Archaeology

Each series has been an education and a joy to watch even in repeat, remember when the BBC made quality programmes. It’s a real shame what has happened to it.

A wide shot of of the wall running along Sewingshields crag there was no need for a north ditch here #HadriansWall #Archaeology #Northumbia

Sad I’ll miss the opening of the Roman kiln today to see the lovely pottery coming out. The high winds made reaching firing temperatures difficult but we finally achieved it, definitely hotter than err.. Vindolanda Trust Graham Taylor

The excavated remains of Milecastle 35 showed it was in use till the end of Roman Britain and reused as a medieval farmstead. Evidence shows it was metalworking was present #HadriansWall

The Roman military way showing up as a pronounced ridge as it passes the site of Milecastle 33 now an enclosure of trees. The distant Sewingsheilds farm just visible on the left #HadriansWall #RomanRoads

The Roman military way with it’s curved surface still visible as it heads east towards Brocolitia fort. The road was created after the army reoccupied #HadriansWall returning back from the Antonine wall in the mid 2nd Century.

Back along Hadrian’s wall up Housesteads today, think I need to pack some heavy boots #Breezy

Very happy to get my copy of “Hadrians Wall in our time” a series of short essays and photographs by experts celebrating the Wall and its objects. Forward by Rory Stewart I’m privileged to have been included.

A breezy view of the bath house at Chesters fort on the edge of a very full North Tyne where #HadriansWall crossed on a stone bridge. The niches probably held shelves for the bathers clothes.

Trying out the newly added night stair platform to the monks dormitory with views of the chapter house. The foundations of the buildings rested on oak piles and much work was needed to shore up the walls in the modern period #FurnessAbbey
