Great walk and starting to get a nice bit of colour in the trees as well, sad that with todays incoming storm a lot of that colour will be blown away. I always have a waterproof jacket with me and one of those waterproof ponchos too, which cover you and your backpack. It would have been good of more of the castle was still standing today, same with the WW2 home guard machine gun post, as I love walking around places like that. Cheers Alan
Yeah It's a sea of leaves on the ground today, it's so important to have a good waterproofed jacket on hills and moors as it's so open and exposed to the elements with no shelter. I think the walls of the castle were robbed out in the past for the stone ,typically places like local farm buildings, you have given me a reminder to have a lookout in future at the old farm buildings in the area, be interested to see if I can locate where the castle stones were re-used. Best wishes pal 🦇🖤
Thank you , its a very interesting ancient landscape with its own personality , can be heaven or hell depending on the weather, the moors gives and the moors take 🤣🤣, take care 🖤🖤🦇🦇
Great walk and it's good you got things if weather changes. Intresting about that "castle". By the way... How is it going with your music project? Have a fabulous weekend 🦇🖤🖤🖤🖤🦇
Thanks , music project is going well , actually working on one song today , we were just going to do 2 or 3 songs but done 4 now and probably going to be a 5th song , aiming to make available for Halloween , take care my friend 🖤🖤🦇🦇🖤🖤
Its currently 11 Celsius so 51.8 Fahrenheit, so bright but bit cool. You will probably feel the cold so kind of hoodie with light coat weather. Best wishes🖤🖤🦇🦇
Anyone have any idea as to why archaeologist's found hardly anything from excavations?
As you said, the castle was either not completed and/or not in use for long. As such there isn't much opportunity for material to be deposited.
@@theDexMcHenry Thanks , its an odd one
Nice one mate..not an area that i have visited before...must check it out sometime.
Cheers you can easily add in Indians head/Wimberry stones above Dovestones on the same walk, best wishes pal🙂🙂

Enjoyed that John. I haven’t been up there for years. I’ll have to go back and reacquaint myself to it again. Maybe even a wild camp.
Cheers mate 🙏👍
Thanks , once you get up on the moor , you can get over to Alphin Pike and Wimberry stones/Indians head too, best wishes pal 🙂🙂

Cheers Phil , I like right on the edge of the Pennines so I have a lot of places to go. take care pal 🖤🖤🦇🦇
