Thank you, Jon. I lived in Throckley from '58 to '66, when I left for Uni in Manchester, than came back temporarily for college in Newcastle. Loved those views of the West Road and what we call the Military Road.
Hi Chris, IT is the military road but not the one built by the romans it was built by General Wade during the Jacobite Rebellions to get artillery across the border from East to West quickly. The Roman Military road appears in one or two places immediately behind the wall and was put in after the wall was built. The next two parts of this mini series might reveal this. Best wishes Jon
That was absolutely epic Jon. The footage you captured was fantastic. Really enjoyed watching .Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Lovely video. 👌 Nice to see that new bird up high too. Fabulous
Not my Air 3 havent got my licence for it yet! all done with the Mini 3 pro. Even when I get my licence I wont be able to fly over built up areas can only go up to 50mtrs away. I will use the Air 3 for the areas of the wall unpopulated, out over the sea in my current Durham series and later in the year when I begin filming the river tweed.
Hi Ida, sadly a lot of Hadrians wall was demolished by the Victorians during the Industrial Revolution. A prominent Businessman John Clayton managed to save a significant portion of it further to the west but nearly all has gone in the cities of both Newcastle and Carlisle. Episode two will be out very soon and you will see more of the wall and forts. Best wishes Jon
