Caernarfon's town walls are a medieval defensive structure around the town of Caernarfon in North Wales. The walls were constructed between 1283 and 1292 after the foundation of Caernarfon by Edward I, alongside the adjacent castle. The walls are 734 m (2,408 ft) long and include eight towers and two medieval gatehouses. The project was completed using large numbers of labourers brought in from England; the cost of building the walls came to around £3,500, a large sum for the period. The walls were significantly damaged during the rebellion of Madog ap Llywelyn in 1294, and had to be repaired at considerable expense. Political changes in the 16th century reduced the need to maintain such defences around the town. Today the walls form part of the UNESCO world heritage site administered by Cadw. Archaeologists Oliver Creighton and Robert Higham describe the defences as "a remarkably intact walled circuit".
Grade I listed building.
History
The borough of Caernarfon was established by Edward I of England under the Statute of Wales in 1284. It was the centre of government for N Wales and was protected by the erection of the Town Wall, with Caernarfon Castle at its S end. The construction of the Town Wall had begun in 1283 in conjunction with the building of Caernarfon Castle, probably under the direction of James of St George who was architect of the castle. Masonry work on the first phase of the Town Wall was completed by 1285, re-using some stone from Segontium Roman fort. The Town Wall was badly damaged in the native uprising of 1294 and were restored and improved in 1295 at a cost of £1195. The wall walk and towers were further repaired in 1309-12. Of other entrances, only a single postern gate has survived intact, the Greengate to the SE. Former posterns on the W side are infilled and can be seen in the W wall of the church of St Mary and gable end of the police station. Another postern, the Water Gate at the end of Castle Ditch, has been altered. Further openings facing Bank Quay, from Church Street, Market Street and Northgate Street, are later insertions. The bell tower at the NW corner was converted for ecclesiastical use as accommodation for the chaplain of the church of St Mary, built 1307-16. The Bath Tower facing the Promenade was converted in 1823 when the Earl of Uxbridge created public baths on the site of the present 11-17 Church Street, part of a scheme to attract visitors to the town, when the upper stage of the Bath Tower became a reading room. The main E and W entrances survive substantially intact (are listed as separate items).
Exterior
High coursed rubble-stone wall in several straight sections forming an irregular plan and a circuit approximately 730m long, with 2 gate houses (listed as separate items) and eight 2-stage round towers contrasting with the polygonal towers of the castle. The quality of masonry in the wall is variable, accounted for by various repairs and restorations. The towers have mainly open gorges and were originally crossed by timber bridges, one of which has been repaired on the NE side. The upper stages of the towers have arrow loops, while the embattled parapet, where it survives, has similar loops to the merlons. The walls have regular brattice slots. At the SE end the wall has been demolished across Castle Ditch and begins on its N side, where on the inner side facing Hole-in-the-Wall Street stone steps to the wall walk survive at high level, and where there is a postern gate, known as the Greengate, under a 2-centred arch with portcullis slot. The adjacent tower has a shouldered lintel to a fireplace in the upper stage. The wall, with 2 towers and the East Gate to High Street, continues on a high bank, around to the N side facing Bank Quay. The NE tower survives to the full height of its battlements and has stone steps on the inner side. A skewed archway has been inserted leading to Northgate Street. Further W, an inserted segmental arch spans a double-carriageway entrance to Market Street, while the tower on its W side also retains stone steps. A lower segmental arch leads to Church Street immediately to the E of the church.
On the NW side the church of St Mary is integral with the Town Wall and its NW, or Bell Tower, houses the vestry, while its upper storey served as a priest's dwelling. Facing N it has a 2-light Tudor window under a hoodmould, with sunk spandrels, while the W face has a plainer 2-light window in the upper stage. On the parapet is a gabled bellcote. A blocked former postern gate is on the return facing the promenade, incorporated into the church. The next tower facing the promenade is the Bath Tower, which has early C19 detail in connection with the baths established in 1823. It has its doorway in the S side facing the Promenade, which has a pointed arch with studded boarded door and Y-tracery overlight. In the N and S faces the upper stage has restored 3-light mullioned and transomed windows incorporating iron-frame casements, and restored embattled parapet. A 2-storey projection with parapet is built behind. At the W end of the High Street is the former gatehouse known as Porth-yr-Aur, beyond which there is a single tower behind the former jail. The tower is enclosed at the rear by a late C19 wall with segmental arch flanked by small-pane windows under lintels. Further S is a segmental arch across Castle Ditch, on the S side of which the reveal and part of the keyed arch of an earlier gateway is visible, while the wall abutting the castle is an addition of 1326.
Reasons for Listing
Listed grade I, the medieval Town Wall has survived to almost the complete extent of the original circuit, defining the medieval town, and with Caernarfon Castle is of national significance in the survival of a medieval garrison town.

There really isn't much to see at soldier summit just a bunch of ruin and you are lucky to see anything from the Eastbound train as it is usually dark at around 6AM when it is scheduled to pass here Anyway today we got LUCKY and the train was a couple of hours late... So about "Soldier Summit" UTAH...
The summit takes its name from a group of soldiers who were caught in an unexpected snowstorm on the summit in July 1861. These soldiers were Southerners, previously under Union General Philip St. George Cooke at Camp Floyd, on their way to join the Confederate Army. A few of them died in the storm and were buried on the summit.
By 1979 there were only about a dozen adult residents left, but Soldier Summit still had four part-time police officers enforcing a community speed limit on the stretch of highway passing through town. When motorists complained of a speed trap, the state Attorney General and the Utah Chief of Police Association investigated. They determined that the only reason for having a police department in Soldier Summit at all was to generate revenue for municipal services through traffic tickets. The police department was disbanded

Yup, by the time you used up half of your calendar or schedule book, all of our suppliers already finalized their offer for 2008, some even started to sell their diaries with dates started from July/August 2007. This is the second year Midori's Traveler's Notebook releases diaries, it will be available in Japan from Sep and arrive Hong Kong in October. For 2008 version, it features two vesions: monthly and weekly.
The monthly version is not much different from last year. The new weekly version is comfortably separated into two notebooks containing Jan-Jun and Jul-Dec weeks respectively. You only need to carry what you need instead of a total 52 weeks for the entire year, particularly useful feature during second half of the year when you can lighten up the burden. I like the color of the covers very much, match the mood of the leather cover.

Davis, Starlight, SF, BART, Commutes, San Jose, 12 Feb 1974
Lincoln's Birthday was school holiday in 1974, and a friend and I took advantage of the day off to take a trip to San Francisco.
BART has recently started running and we wanted to have a first ride on BART, and we also wanted to record the SP's commute operations at Third and Townsend Street station, which was in its last year or so of operation before being replaced by the station at 4th Street that Caltrain still uses. Fairbanks-Morse power was also in its last year or so on Southern Pacific and we wanted a ride behind a big H-24-66.
So, before dawn, we were at the Davis station waiting for #11 to come down the West Valley line. (For Amtrak's first 10 years or so, the Coast Starlight turned north at Davis, bypassing Sacramento and Chico, but saving an hour or so on its Oakland-Oregon schedule. This was in keeping with SP's practice from the days when their trains were seen as through Oakland-Oregon services and Sacramento passenges could connect at Davis by local train, bus or car.) The Davis arrival and departure board still showed the train as the Cascade, but had changed the northbound number to 14 instead of the Cascade's 12.
We must taken the Starlight to Oakland and the connecting bus to San Francisco as the BART transbay tube did not open for passengers until later in 1974. We seem to have ridden BART from Montgomery Street to Daly City and back. We then walked down 3rd Street to the SP station.
SP's 3rd and Townsend Street station was completed in time for the 1915 Pan-Pacific Exposition and was intended to be a temporary facility. Temporary wound up being 60 years. By 1974, it was showing its age and the fact that SP had lost interest in passenger service earlier than most western railroads. Amtrak had moved the last intercity passenger train that served San Francisco, the Coast Daylight, over to Oakland and combined it with SP's Cascade and a BN pool train to create the Seattle-LA Coast Starlight, leaving 3rd and Townsend a commuter only station. Ridership on the commutes was stagnant, SP was losing money and not inclined to spend more on a money losing operation, but the state Public Utilities Commission would not allow SP to cancel the service.
As 3rd and Townsend was past its "best before" date, plans had been made to build a new station a block south at 4th Street and the new interlocking tower for the new station had been built. Construction would soon start on 4th St. station and when it was ready, 3rd and Townsend would be demolished. Today you could stand where I did to shoot these photos and not recognize anything except for some of the track looking south photos.
The weather was rainy part of the day, but cleared toward afternoon. We wandered around the station area, shooting arrivals and departures during the day and the commute parade lining up for departure. We shot some commutes departing, then boarded one, led by F-M 3022, that would get us into San Jose in time to catch the Coast Starlight back to Davis.
I got a few shots at San Jose, then must have decided that shots of the Starlight would not be worth it as it arrived well after dark.
The was the first of quite a few around the bay trips I've taken by train over the years, sometimes going and coming on the Starlight, these days, more likely on the Capitol Corridor. Pretty much everything has changed as far as trains and equipment, other than the original BART cars still soldiering on. The Capitol Corridor was undreamed of in 1974, and it would be 11 years before Caltrain would replace the SP equipment on the commutes.

This is the Market Cross in Cheddar, Somerset, at night. Was the only time I captured it. We stayed in a cottage in a nearby village, but mostly passed through here in the car (so no day time shots of it).
The market cross in Bath Street dates from the 15th century, with the shelter being rebuilt in 1834. It has a central octagonal pier, socket raised on four steps, hexagonal shelter with six arched four-centred arch openings, shallow two stage buttresses at each angle, and embattled parapet. The shaft is crowned by an abacus with figures in niches, probably from the late 19th century although the cross is now missing. Rebuilt by Thomas, Marquis of Bath. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument (Somerset County No 21) and Grade II* listed building.[30] It was recently restored after being seriously damaged in a road traffic accident.

Tuesday 08 July 2014 - Day 09 - Quishuar (3,740m / 12,270ft) - Tupatupa Pass (4,374m / 14,350ft) - Jancapampa (3,673m / 12,050ft)
Bed tea was scheduled for 7am, but I was up and about (packing) half an hour earlier. Today we were moving on from Quishuar to pastures and vistas new.
Granola and Gloria strawberry yoghurt made another tasty breakfast, followed by sandwich making and a visit from the old lady who'd been brought to the clinic yesterday, bent double by arthritis but still living in a farmhouse high up in the hills above Quishuar.
Luis and Augustin packed up the tents and we piled up kit bags, watched by the village school children who were slowly congregating in the playing fields.... with the natural consequence that more photos were taken. With a bit of a delay due to transport complications (aka the promised donkeys and medical horse didn't turn up) and farewells to Juan and Michael who were walking the old lady home, we set off.
Beautiful blue skies above as we crossed the Rio Huercrococha and walked upstream towards the Blanca, before taking a last look at the Lucma valley and turning right into the wider valley we'd seen yesterday, with its own winding stream and scattering of farms. Kiswar bushes (after which the village of Quishuar is named) lined sections of the path, and occasionally we found ourselves strolling through woods of Quenual (paperbark) trees.
Easy walking up the valley, trying to beat the clouds to the snowy peaks of Nevado Pukahirka / Pucajirca Sur (6,039 m / 19,813ft) - we managed it, just. Wonderful views. Lots of photos.
As the clouds gathered, we turn away from the Cordillera Blanca, for a tougher stretch walking uphill over grassland to the Tupatupa Pass (4,374m/14,350ft). Lovely views over rolling hills and long valleys, but under gloomy skies. We lunched at the pass and waited for Melky, Augustin, Luis, Amner and the donkeys. Melky arrived first, carrying his new fishing rod - a present from Dave. Christine and I headed uphill (getting to about 4,400m / 14 440ft) to see if we could get a better view of Pukahirka - which we did, together with more peaks and ridges, snow and glaciers, glacier-scoured rocks and glacier-fed waterfalls. Definitely a pass to return to under cloudless skies.
I took it slow on the steep downhill section from the pass, partly for the knees, partly for the views - the clouds were starting to lift and the snow shone brightly in the sunlight.
Our destination was one of the farm on the hills above Jancapampa, and from high above we could see our tents being put up, and dark clouds gathering over the ridges on the far side of the valley and the glaciers rolling down from Nevado Pukahirka / Pucajirca Central (6,014m / 19,731ft). Strolling through farmland we passed fields of beautiful blue flowers and the familiar 'lupins', which turn out to be chocho beans.
Arriving in camp about 2.30pm, we settled into our tents - after three nights in Quishuar I'd got my camp craft down to a fine art - and pottered around the campsite, watching the flocks of sheep and goats being herded home for the day, shepherdesses spinning as they went. The farmhouses we were camping near had gardens of colourful flowers enclosed in stone walls.
Tea and popcorn in the tent, with diary writing and Scrabble accompanied by the sound of an occasional patter of raindrops on the canvas, and the long low rumble of avalanches from above. Later in the afternoon we were visited by the family from the farm and a local trained nurse who looks after a disabled orphan.
Superb dinner: soup (always!), squash curry (surprise ingredient: strawberry jam to temper the chilli), tinned peaches. I'm afraid I wimped out of joining Val and the crew at the fiesta held at the farmhouse in honour of Val's visit. The music played on pipe, harp and drum provided the soundtrack to sleep after a satisfying day of proper peaks. Not so sure what tomorrow will bring weatherwise....
Not so many barking dogs tonight, but heavy rain and a rooster at 4am instead.
