  1. A late start and a grey day, so just a little 15km walk around some of the hillforts above the Breamish. I love the sense of history of these, always thinking who lived here? What did they do? What was it like? Today I couldn't stop wondering what they called the places where they lived. Did any of their names survive into our modern placenames?

  2. Today I walked from Dunster (UK, Somerset) up to Bat's castle - the remnants of an iron age hillfort. Not sure if it's been excavated, but the stone rampart and ditches are clearly visible. The walk I did was about 7km, with 210m of elevation which was quite tough, but the view from the top is amazing - the Bristol Channel on one side, and hills and valleys on the other. #exmoornationalpark #somerset #hillforts #ironage
