    Really enjoyed the aerials and your walk around Askham fell, interesting to see some of the neolithic monuments and those views of the hills are just beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

    Some very interesting monuments there Alistair, great explanations. These are rocks I would have just walked past without a second glance, it’s nice to know that there placings have a much more significant meaning. Great Bronze Age burial find. Must have been a busy spot back in the day. The aerial shots really give perspective!

    This was interesting. I love "standing stones", so I went straight ahead to see if I can buy the book here in Germany as a present for one of my brothers. I can and the price is nothing to complain about.
    Thank you btw for pronouncing 'moore' like I do instead of like 'more'. Must be remnants of my Cumbrian self. 😅
    This 'avenue' is not in line with Castlerigg though, or is it?
    Take care and keep walking,
    Elvira

      @@medievalladybird394 Hi Elvira, many of the Neolithic avenues are on a Northwest/Southeast alignment, perhaps linked to the Winter solstice sunrise?🤔
      Castlerigg isn't in view from Moor Divock...but Shap Avenue is! I have a video planned for that at some point.

    Very interesting Alistair. I remember the Cockpit when I walked to Loadpot Hill a couple of years back. Askham is a really nice place too. Hope you are well. Best wishes, Chris
