Hardknott Ruins
Reuploaded after yesterdays FlickR meltdown...
Following on from yesterdays shot from Hardknott Roman Fort....., yes, it's Hardknott Roman Fort again!, this time looking out with an overall view of the Fort ruins looking in the opposite direction with Birker Fell on the left, down through the Eskdale Valley and out to the coast at Ravenglass.
Myself, and the two others I was shooting with had a cracking time up here with the weather playing ball in as much as it didn't pour down on us somehow and gave us great dark, brooding moody skies to work with, - you can check out both of their websites here: Mike Muddyboots - www.flickr.com/photos/muddybootsuk , Brad Eide www.flickr.com/photos/58071954@N08/
There's some really interesting stuff all round the Roman Fort including one small building that used to be the bath house and sauna! Given that this is a really exposed exposed area of the lakes that gets totally battered with high winds, heavy rain, and depp snow in Winter it struck me as being a curious place to have taken a bath and sauna! It went on to say how the sauna loosened up all the dirt on the skin so that it could then be easilyscraped off with a knife.... nice !! I don't suppose you would have the need of a cooling pool afterwards though, you'd just walk outside.... not for me!
Mike has also done a video vlog of our trip which he's posted up here - youtu.be/x8e8wu_TGIM - feel free to have a look and give him a follow, he's done a good job and he has the patience to do this kind of stuff, I don't, plus it would be more items for me to lose or break when outdoors, and I'm bad enough as it is :-)
