Teddy Tours to Dead Mans Cave

[QDanT]

My latest bed time reading is

from http://www.yorkshirecdbooks.com/index.html
No connection etc but very helpful and the amount of work done to scan the books is unbelievable.So when I read about Dead mans cave and the Celtic Walls I just had to have a Teddy Tour

I parked in Feizor and just by chance the Farmer was in the yard so I went over to ask if my van was in the way, it wasn't, and showed him a photo copy of the chapter and maps on the Celtic Walls etc. and asked if there was any good erratics I might photograph on the way. He had a laugh and said that 1892 was a bit before his time but if I followed one Bridal way up, not on his land, then took the second gate and across the fields I'd get on to his land and pick up a track to where I wanted to be and if anyone challenged me tell them ***** said it was OK to be on here.
Thank you Mr Farmer. As I got higher I began to pass erratics

Looking back the way I'd come

and some Bonsai Ash

Till I arrived at the Celtic Walls which are not shown on the modern maps and I've drawn them on the map in in red

Looking from the Walls over towards Langcliffe and Mondays Sampsons Toe tour

I then swung right round the scars and headed to Dead Mans Cave for dinner

Looking into the cave while having a brew

Menu :- Crumpets

With x1 cup Risotto rice - x2 cup water - 1/4 cup dried Porcini Mushrooms - x1 smoked Kebano sliced - big pinch Italian herbs - splash Olive Oil - bring to boil, simmer till water absorbed, keep stirring. Wine - Australian Colombard Chardonay

Olive Oil is in a Grants miniature whiskey bottle which fits in the top pan of the Zebra 14cm Billy along with a sawn-off Trangia pot holder and a 35mm film holder full of Brown sugar for coffee. The wine was that good I called in and bought a full size bottle on the way home and am drinking it now as I type this
cheers all Danny

I think that this has the making of a regular Youtube cookery prog! A sort of Flloyd meets Playschool meets Coast.

Get it done!!

I find it amazing that something from antiquity reported in 1892 is still there and an to all intents an purposes has been lost, at least off the modern maps, If you read page 110 there's a little bit of information :- There are indications to the west of foundations of other walls 1500 years ago !
Middle of big wall

South end of big wall

Remains of smaller wall further south from page 110

It's not all that long ago certainly not in Geological time perhaps not in Tree life time yet for Human time it's lost in the midsts of ???
cheers all Danny

Mr Teddy is starting to get on my nerves. Not only does he get out more than me, but he eats better too.


Another excellent and well researched post though.

Cheers, Michael.

I've been playing about with the where's the path posted by "father jack" who said try here ******* it starts off in a place i dont know but you can move it to whare you like the best bit is it has an arial map on the right and an OS map on the left.
I think it's great as it gives magnetic variation at the bottom ,grid square overlays, satellite image, etc ,etc, well worth a play. I've found if you click the small icon top right the last one like a round globe with a bar underneath it gives a link to the display you are looking at. So this should go to the Celtic Walls which are shown in this map version http://wtp2.appspot.com/wheresthepath.htm?lat=54.10232188509342&lon=-2.3060007070452997&gz=18&oz=9&gt=1 the next click minus on the left pane scale slider brings it back to a map but loses the Celtic Walls tag. Thanks again to "father jack" a great piece of software to play with
cheers all Danny
