Pertinax Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 The main enemy on the Wall is the weather (now as it was then). Dont get caught outdoors without the right clothing and footwear, this might sound trite but its an exposed area. In one of my gallery entries I mention that I was photographing the Mithraium at Procolita (near Vircovicium , and a couple of miles from Vindolanda) having had bright but clear weather for the earlier part of the day, when I was driven off by driving sleet and hail. http://www.unrv.com/forum/index.php?act=mo...=si&img=656 thats the shot in question. If you wander around in the gallery area you wil find quite a lot of Vindolanda shots. http://www.unrv.com/forum/index.php?act=mo...si&img=1449 I understand that in addition to badgers and poisonous adders, there are black panthers prowling about Old Blightey these days. (I am not kidding around.) Badgers certainly, adders (mostly black) indeed (but they are grumpy and dont hang about if you get near them).Panthers , well maybe NN has seen some around Hoad, but I havent noticed any myself....

(I am not kidding around.) I think your talking about the 'Tynedale Black Cat' spotted around Hexam and Haltwhistle, which just happen to be along the route of the wall. http://www.cryptoworld.co.uk/more-uk-black-cat-sights/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pertinax Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Hexham is of course near to Corbridge (you shouldnt forget that GO!) , hence Corstopitum ; Haltwhistle is mid-wallish and the usual stop for Banna and Aesica. Bardon Mill is the railway station between these two , and from there its a brisk uphill walk to Vindolanda. http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=h...ficial%26sa%3DG How could you forget Corbridge? Hoad is in NN territory, indeed it is a signifying landmark, nay it is NNs very backyard!: http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=h...ficial%26sa%3DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaius Octavius Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 :notworthy: Didn't forget Corbridge and am sorry that you mentioned it. Private Bohp doesn't go for Nosy Parker touristers gawking about the homestead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
