Quote:Wow, those colors! Almost surreal.I suspect Brian's photo has been doctored in some way.
Quote:Well it's not Sycamore Gap for that is on Hadrian's Wall ...You are, at least, on the correct frontier, Brian. And if you can narrow the location down a little more, I will consider passing the baton to you!

Thank you for a clue and can it be part of what we now know as the Vallum but just where with those buildings behind the trees and in fact I am interested in your avatar.

Quote:in fact I am interested in your avatar.My avatar photo, by coincidence, was taken not too far west of the mystery location, which is actually quite well known.

I think it may well be Hadrian's Wall ditch near Poltros Burn Milecastle, the milecastle that helped partly determine the height of Hadrians Wall.

Is it Ardoch?

Quote:I think it may well be Hadrian's Wall ditch near Poltross Burn Milecastle.Bingo! According to my new favourite guidebook to Hadrian's Wall, this is "one of the finest – possibly even breathtaking (if you are inclined to having your breath taken) – sections of Wall ditch". Quite so.
I hope you have a quiz photo, Brian.

I do indeed have a picture but it should be a bit of an easy one.

Hmmm, such mocking replies...I read your post after the photo, saying it was quite far North..... :evil:
Well Done Brian.

Lol, kind of contradictory. "This is a great photo of - is that a ditch? What the heck?"
Never knew there was so much interest in ditches.
