I often forget that I filmed most of the prehistoric sites I visited while writing my books. This one, Dry Burn Henge, features in the upcoming second edition of my Cumbria book - a stunning Neolithic enclosure high up in the Pennines 🤩 #archaeology #travel #lakedistrict

Sad start to the day, had to make a decision to send my mate Willi over the Rainbow Bridge this morning 😥 Going to find a nice beer garden and celebrate his life with a few pints of real ale like we did after a walk in the Pennines. 🍺

Our Scolopax24 do well out on the moor & in the rushy pastures, but they are not immune from predation, those big beady eyes are ever watchful
You can guarentee theyll see us before we see them !

It's pouring and some torrential rain is over the Peak District and Pennines.
This Rain will clear Manchester area first as it's edging North, and should become drier in the city in about a hour or so.
Continues wet this Morning for Cumbria Lancashire and Yorkshire
