A Walk on Ilkley Moor: Wind, Rock Art, and a Mild Sense of Betrayal

A walk “On Ilkla Moor”, though not “Baht ’at,” as I had the good sense to wear a buff. The wind was still rather sharp.

Ilkley Moor, an eastern limb of the Pennines, sits between the Wharfe and Aire valleys. This expanse of rough moorland is littered with relics of prehi ...

Surveying the Past Before the Grouse Take Over

The final day of trudging around Brown Hill, dutifully noting the remains of Bronze Age cairnfields, settlements, and funerary monuments. By Monday, the moor must be left undisturbed so the Grouse can multiply, ensuring there are enough targets for the guns on the Glorious Twelfth.

The weather, as ever, was obl ...

A visit to the Tholos do Barro, outside Torres Vedras, Portugal. There are ~60 tholoi in Portugal, but not (yet!) well studied. This one is in good shape and in a gorgeous location!

Come with me on an exploration of the shattered dolmen, the Anta da Pedra dos Mouros. It touches on the history of archaeology, mythology, land ownership, and the ravages of modern construction.

Colmán’s Legacy: From Lindisfarne to Inishbofin (Possibly via Commondale?)

Today marks the anniversary of the death of Colmán of Lindisfarne in the year 675. A fine excuse, I thought, to wander over to Commondale, a place supposedly named after the saint. At least, that is what Tom Scott Burns claimed in The Walker’s Guide to the Cleveland Hills. But, as with most things, it is n ...

#MonochromeMonday

We have these amazing karst canyons all over the island & on several surrounding gulf islands. Large karst networks of caves & canyons are found in Cowichan Valley, Comox Valley & all through the less populated North Island. Karst sites on Quadra Island & some islands in the Discovery Islands archipelago are being researched. Haida Gwaii has big karst formations network.

I find #geological #karst formations very fascinating. I enjoy exploring them when there's an opportunity to do so. I've found ancient old growth tree crystals in some of the karst formation forests here - they're magical, magnificent & hard to find if you're not looking hard in the right areas.
