Oct. 23rd, 2007 07:16 pmIt's been absolutely lovely this afternoon, so Charles and I did our favourite trip to Hadrian's Wall along the Military Road. The sunshine was that glorious gold of Autumn that gilds everything when it gets low in the sky and the trees are starting to change colour and drop their leaves.
We did a bit of a detour via Stamfordham and Matfen and then drove straight to Cawfields where there were very few cars and only a handful of people.
It's so deeply peaceful and quiet there. I think it's one of Charles favourite places when there aren't too many people there. I quite surprised myself because before we left home, I thought I wouldn't try to do any walking since I felt very breathless for a lot of the morning, but by the time I'd driven all the way there, and because Charles won't get out and walk around unless I do, I went for a little womble and ended up climbing higher than I've been able to get for the last year. I climbed up here
It doesn't look very high, and it isn't high at all really, but it's a giant step for me!
It's actually at the top of the bank on the middle right of this photo.
I had to keep stopping to have a rest, but I finally got up there. I couldn't do that last time I went there with my Sis.
I took some photos for the 100_snapshots challenge, but I left the piece of paper behind. I was sure there must be a category of "Deep", so I took this photograph, only to find out that it's not one of the categories after all.
As we drove back there was a perfect picture to represent "Road" with a sunny evening view to the East along the A69 with the wonderful scenery and the sun behind us, and just above the horizon there was a huge faint moon hanging in the sky. Unfortunately I can't drive and take photographs at the same time. I bet I never see it just like that again!
