Nether Largie South was likely built over 5,000 years ago. The original chamber at its centre was divided into four compartments and probably held numerous burials, in line with Neolithic practices.
As with the other monuments in Kilmartin Glen, the site continued to be used as a sacred place. At some point about 4,000 years ago the cairn was enlarged into a 30m-wide round cairn, to accommodate two secondary cists, or stone coffins – doubtless to house the remains of chiefs.
On my way down south I stopped at Ede and then biked towards the Nether Rhine and the town of Wageningen, especially famous as the site of the German surrender of The Netherlands to Prince Bernhard and the Allies in May 1945. I was especially interested in two botanical gardens here, the Arboretum De Dreijen and the Belmonte Arboretum. De Dreijen is the original garden of the Wageningen University which expansively acquired Belmonte in 1951.
This photo was taken from Belmonte's hill, overlooking the Nether Rhine. Belmonte was founded by Thierry Juste (Auguste), baron de Constant Rebecque de Villars (1786-1867) in 1845. 'Monte' is a rather fancy name for the slightly undulating hill on which it's situated; yet it is indeed pretty. Apparently in the mind of the denizens of this town it's considered quite a height. Asking for directions, I was looked at sceptically and someone said it was a stiff climb for my bike day-rented from the Dutch Railways.
There below is the meandering, crinkly Nether Rhine. Fittingly this late inset Rosa rugosa, Japanese Rose, in the now almost entirely green Rose Garden. In English it also goes by the name Crinkly - for 'rugosa' - Rose.
Nearing journeys end DB’s 6M77 15:43 Cwmbargoed Opencast Colliery - Hope (Earles Sdgs) rattles along the Hope Valley near Nether Booth hauled by EWS liveried 66120 and a matching rake of motley looking HTA’s loaded with Welsh Coal for the cement production process at Breedon’s Hope Cement Works.
With the recent news that the opencast mine at Ffos-y-Fran near Merthyr Tydfil, which supplies Cwmbargoed is being forced to cease mining operations after 16 years due to growing pressures from local residents and carbon reduction policies, undoubtedly this flow will come to an end shortly with coal for Hope being imported to the UK instead.

The village that it is in, Nether Langwith, In Nottinghamshire is part of a larger village and we lived in the part called Langwith, which is in Derbyshire. The county boundary bisects the village with ‘Nether’ meaning ‘Lower’. The third part of the village, Whaley Thorns is also in Derbyshire and is the northern part of the larger village.
On-hire 'Grid' 56098 in tandem with DC Railfreight 56103 reverberate through Edale with 6Z82 11.20 Peak Forest - Brandon (Suffolk) loaded stone.
After several years on the side lines DCR 56103 made a welcome return to the action today, leading the inbound JNA's from Chaddesden to Peak Forest this morning without issue.
With this being a RMT strike day, no Northern or TPE units were running and they let it out from Chinley East 15E.
With next to no phone signal in the valley floor I was blissfully unaware and got to this vantage point as they were coming into view.

A local unit makes its way through the Hope Valley passing through the delightful small hamlet of Nether Booth. This was our location for the outward leg of the 'Tin Bath' with the two Black 5's but sadly the exhaust blew down blocking out most of the train. Our thanks must go to the landowner 'Janet' who gave us permission to go into her field to get this superb view back down to Edale. If you seek out the owner and ask they rarely say no but if you go into the field without asking then be prepared to be removed is my advice.

The bold, distinctive patterns cut into the heather on Nether Moor had grabbed my attention as soon as I spotted them and I was resolved to incorporate them in a picture. I spent a long and frustrating time trying to pair them up with Hope Brink and Win Hill in the distance, but every effort I attempted just didn’t work.
I decided a third element in the frame is what I needed, changing my mindset to look for what I would if I was using a wide-angle. The hunt for an interesting foreground ensued, a section of dry stone walling held promise, but proved to be more of a barrier in the frame, jarring the visual flow. I all but gave up when I spotted a beautiful tuft of heather with it’s own little forest of sprouts poking through a covering of snow.
Although I was only looking for three elements in this photo (it’s the magic number right?) I ended up with four distinct bands of texture (the one I can count to as a drummer) which to me give a compact snap shot showing the patterns and shape to be found on the moors, from the smaller details to the features grander in scale.
Stanley Donwood’s “Nether” is a piece of art I really love. The painting adorns Robert Macfarlane’s book, “Underland”, which seems fitting. Although the painting is of colorful trees, it has a hint of a subterranean world to it.

I had been planning it for awhile, but episode 8 seemed like a good time to start another display for my Minecraft world, one based on the Nether dimension! In the future, I plan to expand this one as well with the Nether's many various biomes and structures.

St Thomas à Becket church in Fairfield, Romney Marsh, shortly before sunset. The whole area, very flat and criss-crossed with canals, has a Dutch touch to it... Best viewed in lightbox (press "L").
Single exposure with ND graduated filters: hard-edged 0.6 + soft-edged 0.6. Again, no dodging on the church, I placed the grads slightly awry so as not to darken the church overmuch - a little compomise - its shape lent itself well to such treatment in this perspective.

The 15th century chapel of St John the Baptist at Nether Exe is Grade I Listed. There are still services here, albeit infrequently. Access is via a field and there used to be a manor house close by. At Nether Exe I saw two birds of prey, many squirrel young and pheasants - and you can hear a pin drop.
