Very 😃❤️

Hi Jill 👋😃 I had to be a bit sneaky with the drone 🤣 Why they don’t normally allow them is beyond my comprehension but where there’s a will there’s a way 🤣 it never bothered anyone. Glad you enjoyed the tour. Hope all is well, you seem to be getting extremes of weather there 🙏🏻🤗❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧

@@Raybo1uk where I am on the prairies it’s been fluctuating between lots of rain and scalding hot days of 35-40C with the humidity. Lots of varied weather across this large country. Some are dealing with flooding and others (east and west coast) fires and evacuations of entire towns. Hopefully you’re having drier weather after your fair share of flooding last year. It can always be worse.

hi Jill, the weather now can be so unpredictable with extremes of rain or heat and undoubtedly it will only get worse as the planet heats up and the atmosphere thins. we better get our astronaut suits ready 😂🤣👨‍🚀🚀

Hi Yvonne, there are hundreds of Bastle houses in the area but a lot are in private ground or attached to farms etc so not always possible to get to them but this one is in a beautiful spot. Glad you enjoyed the video , thank you 🙏🏻 🤗❤️

Thank you Yvonne 🤗 it is a very interesting place 👍🏻❤️

Hiya CA👋🤗 yes lots of History here, a break in the rain got me out 🤣⛈️ we have had so much rain. This place is only a relatively shortish walk from Sycamore gap (around 2 miles away) and about 2.5 miles from Vindolanda which is another day out. Glad you enjoyed the wander and footage, all very interesting places with, I’m sure, so many stories to tell. I hope you are taking care in the heat 🙏🏻🤗❤️🐈‍⬛

Hi Anna 😃👋 thank you so much ☺️ I’m glad you enjoyed this video. There were lots of visitors from overseas (USA/Canada, Norway etc) it’s a fantastic place to visit, lots of walkers and the orange back packers I think we’re doing the Prince’s Trust programme. Amazing views from the top… those Romans were definitely fit 🤣🤣🥵 You should definitely add it to your bucket list, it’s not far from Vindolanda as well which is still being excavated and also a fantastic place to visit. Maybe my next visit too 😁 Hope you and Alf are both well, take care 👍🏻🤗

I believe it may have. Never saw it again after this sighting from what I remember.

It is, a magnificent building in its time I’m sure. Thank you for watching and commenting 👍🏻🤗❤️

Hi Yvonne, I wanted to film more but the inner Bailey was actually closed so I quickly sneaked in 🤣 Hope all is well with you, I’ve not been getting any notifications from your channel 🤷‍♂️

It is definitely in a great spot, I’m sure it would look fantastic in any town 😃👍🏻

Hiya Jill 😃👋🤗 this castle is in an amazing spot and had lots of sieges. I definitely wouldn’t want to be crossing that river in a boat with missiles heading towards me 😂 Berwick is in Northumberland and around 2 and a half miles from the Border. I may head up there and do the town Walls walk at some point. The usual walk starts at the railway station and ends at the barracks (approximately 3 miles) unless you get lost of course 🤣 which is quite likely 🤣 I’m glad you enjoyed this one, I would normally have done more inside the inner Bailey but I wasn’t supposed to be in there due to safety issues, however, it is now reopened so if I’d gone a few days later it would have obviously been rebuilt 🤣🤣 why they close all these places due to “health & safety concerns” is beyond me. It’s been there hundreds of years, it’s not going to fall down overnight lol. One day it’s closed off , the next it’s reopened when nothing has changed…. Weird. It is in the care of English Heritage. Thank you as always for your kind comments 🤗 take care in that heat, we are having mid 20’s which is enough for me 😁🥵 Be safe 🙏🏻🤗❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧

Hi Anna 😃👋 yeah I’m glad I wasn’t around that area in those times 🤣 … a bit dodgy to say the least 😂 I’m glad you enjoyed the video and hope everything is fine with both you and Alf 🤗👍🏻

Hiya Jill 😃👋🤗 I’m so glad you enjoyed this, it really is a beautiful area, get saving for your visit lol. Imagine living in that big mansion pretty much in the heart of the countryside…. Get that lotto on 😂 my lotto excitement happens if I get two numbers 🤣🤣 just need the other 4 haha. This planet has some amazing places, I hope we don’t end up spoiling it all fighting over them when it’s so unnecessary😔 I wanted to get more drone footage but there was a guy cutting logs 🪵 who probably wouldn’t take too kindly to me flying near that big house lol. Those monkey puzzle trees are VERY sharp, no wonder monkeys are puzzled by them 🤣🤣 It’s always fantastic hearing from you, thank you once again for visiting which is always appreciated. Take care, be safe and look after yourself 🙏🏻🤗❤️🇬🇧🇨🇦

Hellooooo 😃👋 yeah it’s a beautiful location, I think most of these buildings would have possibly been fairly cold and damp but they all had big fires lol. Many of course are still lived in but obviously have been updated a lot. Those trees have very stiff spikey leaves and believe me they are very sharp. There are a few at Belsay Hall near the castle. Weather is warming here a little but still intermittent showers. 90’s is too hot to do anything other than hide 🤣 so be careful in that heat. Doing ok here thanks, hopefully once the weather improves I’ll get further afield 😁🤗❤️🐈‍⬛

Hola Maria 😃👋 thank you so much, I’m really glad you enjoyed this video. The castle has been used for a number of movies and TV shows, and had an exhibition of original items and costumes used in “The Last Kingdom” Netflix series last year. I have a video on my channel if you would like to see it. ruclips.net/video/KGiUrJrJbXs/видео.htmlsi=S3z0DML7vffRi7Ef Thanks again for visiting and subscribing 🤗❤️

Hi Jill 😃👋🤗 yes definitely very sobering to think of all the lives lost in all wars. I guess it is places like this that remind us of all the sacrifices made to protect the future for everyone. It is also the 80th anniversary today to commemorate the D-Day landings in Normandy when everyone regained their freedom through the sacrifice of others. Makes you wonder where the World would be now without all those brave souls. It is a beautiful area around there and eerily peaceful too. The landscape is covered quite a bit now but you can still see the lines from the air of many of the building placements which provides a better idea of the area covered. A bit different to my normal stuff but I did want to film this perhaps before it gets totally lost in years to come. Thank you as always for your wonderful comments which are always greatly appreciated. Until the next location…. 😁 Take care and keep safe 🤗❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧👋

Hiya 😃👋 amazing place although not much left to see now of course. Every day we learn something, in fact like today when I decided to move my bike shed on my own… that was interesting 🤣🤣. We still have showery days with some heavy downpours but it briefly improved although more rain is in the forecast … sheeesh! 😂. Glad you’re ok and surviving the heat 🤗❤️🐈‍⬛🌞

Hiya Jill 😃👋🤗 it is a very relaxing place and very peaceful. You are so right about enjoying nature, it is amazing in so many different ways. Fresh air and exercise might even give people more strength to pick their phones up later haha. Next video will be a first for me but I found it very humbling. Until next time, be safe and take care 🤗❤️🤗🇨🇦🇬🇧👋

What video did you watch? That poor cub was being brutally abused by the teenage cubs. Ranger said in comments he dies not long after this. His mom was the worst mom ever !!!

Thank you Liam 😊👍🏻

Cheers John, it is a very interesting place and yes the church does have stone from this area. I’ve not visited the church yet but I will at some point if it ever stops raining 🤣 My best wishes to you and New Zealand 👍🏻🇳🇿🇬🇧

Thank you Ann, yes definitely loads of sites… those Romans were busy people 😄👍🏻

Hiya Jill 😀👋🤗 it’s a shame you didn’t get to visit this place during your visit, it’s a fascinating place. The guy on reception gave me a 15 minute talk before I started my walk which gave me a good insight which I found helpful. I think it’s great that they built around it to show exactly how it would have been used. That underfloor heating and ducted air was very clever. I did see the footprints but didn’t film them as I didn’t think they would come out well in the light but totally amazing. When I asked about them I was told they were probably running due to the deeper indentations of the toes and heel, probably getting chased by the guy who just laid the concrete 🤣🤣 I will revisit in future to see what has been updated and uncovered, I will definitely film them then. Thank you as always for taking time to watch and comment 🤗 Wishing you a great week ahead. Be safe and take care 🙏🏻🤗🤗❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧

Hi Anna 😃👋 thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed this video. It is a fascinating place, those Romans were certainly clever people. Most of the site is under a farmers property but as you saw from the ground survey it is an absolutely huge site, it must have been so busy in its day. I’ll no doubt be going back once more has been uncovered to see what they find 😃 Thank you for popping in it’s always appreciated and nice to see you here, I hope you and Alf are both keeping well 🙏🏻🤗👍🏻

Hi Yvonne, we have lots of hidden gems don’t we and of course our history is amazing, glad you enjoyed this👍🏻🤗❤️

Thank you Beth, you are very welcome 🤗

Thank you Yvonne, a very pleasant place to wander and nearly always quiet 👍🏻🤗❤️

Hiya Jill 😃🤗 thank you. It is a beautiful drive up there I didn’t think anyone would want the full journey AND a castle video 🤣 most don’t get fully watched even when 3 minutes 🤣🤣 Yea there was a lot of hatred in those days hopefully it won’t happen again. It doesn’t even bear thinking about being stuck in that tiny hole starving to death, -- barbaric! I had to sneak the drone up as they don’t allow them over the grounds, no idea why especially when there’s nobody about but such is life nowadays, rules, rules and more rules 🤣🫢 at least I got a little footage then put car into sport mode 🤣🤣🤣 a clean getaway hahaha 🤣 I hope your week is going well, we have heavy rain with localised flooding forecast the next few days so I better order that boat, not sure I can row 🚣 with webbed feet 😂😂 until next time. Insider info….. The Romans are coming in the next one 😁😊👍🏻🤗❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧🌹

Amazing what a few big fires can do though lol 😁👍🏻

I think castles would all have been very intimidating places during their peak 🏰👍🏻

You’re welcome ☺️ 🤗❤️🐈‍⬛🏰

Thank you Yvonne 🤗 it really is a great drive and a spectacular place to visit. Thank you for popping in 🤗👍🏻❤️

It’s gone. My follow up video shows where it was and it was the only area cut down which was in the middle of the forest. Very strange to start there.

Hi Jill 😃👋😊🤗 yes I think their use of materials and windows contributed to that, although cameras do always lighten up images too. I’ve been in places which are really dark inside but thankfully the camera has the ability to increase the light exposure. The materials used especially flooring are a thing of the past now, laminate and tiles saw to that lol. The next video should keep you occupied for 30+ minutes, my road trip to Hermitage which I hope you will enjoy, and hopefully your weather will improve soon, it is so unpredictable nowadays. 🤗❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧🌹🌞

Hiya yes I agree it could be made into a habitable home but undoubtedly would cost a fortune to do it. It was of course lived in until 1966, but I’m sure a lot has changed since then. The stone could come from various buildings including local unused or derelict places. Northumberland has a lot of stone and was quarried to build, like Belsay Hall for example. The Roman Wall I’m sure was also plundered, there a many many mile castles which are only a few feet high now. However they built these places would have taken a lot of manpower and hours to cut and transport these huge stones. Thank you as always for popping in 🤗👍🏻❤️🐈‍⬛

Hiya Jill 😃🤗👋 it is an amazing place. The innovation and design of the house and the whole surrounding area are fantastic. It’s hard to believe how they did everything. Bertie was maybe a “dirty Bertie” 🤣🤣🤣 The officers during wartime would have been spoilt in that place, I wonder if they used the snooker table too 😁 I have a couple more videos currently to do, one is a road trip so might take some time to piece together but hopefully you will enjoy them both once uploaded. Thank you as always for your lovely comments and compliments which for me make this all worthwhile. Doing a 200 mile round trip to get very few views can be challenging to the mind and pocket haha. Until the next one take care 🙏🏻 be safe and look after yourself 🤗❤️🌹🇨🇦🇬🇧

Might head for the gardens next time if we get a day without rain 🤣🤗👍🏻

Hi Anna 👋 that happens to me all the time, even after trying multiple times so it’s obviously a bug, probably one introduced by RUclips with all their update fixes 🤣🤣 glad you enjoyed the video 👍🏻🤗 Hope you and Alf are doing well 🙏🏻

Hiya 😃👋🤗 yes it’s a great place to walk, I’ll be heading back soon to see how the gardens are looking 😁🌹🪻🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼 glad you’re fine, we have had horrendous weather but it seems to be picking up a bit now, at least from what we’ve had lol. Here is pretty much like your weather, one nice day 6 poor ones 😂😂 but I guess if we choose wisely we can get out and about …. YAY!! 🥳 I have another couple of videos to edit yet but hopefully they will be up soon 🤗❤️🐈‍⬛

Hiya Jill 😃👋🤗 I’ll have to do a longer one at some point if it ever stops raining ☔️ We have more rain on the way it appears. I’ll be growing webbed feet soon 🤣 Going back to the 1500’s the stone in this building is still holding up pretty well apart from losing 2 floors and a roof. It’s probably not safe enough for regular visitors though. It is quite a distance from Seaton Delaval Hall so if there is a tunnel it would have taken many years to excavate and complete, but who knows, next time I’m there I’ll pose the question, I’d like to find the source, I’ll take a torch 🔦 just in case 😂😁 The cottages have been renovated to a high standard, I never checked prices though, but they are definitely in a nice spot. Hopefully it won’t be too long before I get out on another adventure lol, until then stay safe and take care and thank you as always for your support 😘🤗🙏🏻❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧

I tend to agree Alan, although I’m not aware what buildings may have been there hundreds of years ago. It could of course have been built in the style of a castle to warn people away from a distance. I guess we will never know for certain 🤷‍♂️ Thank you for stopping by and commenting 👍🏻

Thank you Yvonne, those trees were huge 🤣 ✈️ 🤗❤️

Thank you ☺️🤗 it’s nice to know you enjoy 😊🤗❤️

thank you for the nice comments which I just removed by accident 😳😬 This app is getting worse and harder to control grrrr 🤗❤️🐈‍⬛

Hiya Jill 😃🤗 yes it was quite a find haha. I actually went on two different days as the first time I covered the gate with my car and as I was filming I heard a “hoi”! 🤣 just my luck for the farmer to turn up with his huge machine for spraying the fields with insecticide so I had to run back to let him in 🤣🤣 decided to wait a few days for the chemicals to settle then went back to get some drone footage. That hawk was beautiful colours. How technology has moved on eh… another 275 years and there will probably be no need for windmills, probably all be done wirelessly 🛜 😂 I think the windmill would have been occupied and it was probably pretty bleak living in it in the middle of a field, so fireplaces would definitely have been a nice luxury. I wouldn’t fancy being the coal delivery man though 🤣🤣 I’ve not researched a lot online but I wonder if there were any photos? Were cameras even invented then🤷‍♂️😂. Today is supposedly our warmest day of the year so far but that wind is cold, it’s around 17c lol, our mini heatwave 😂🤣 Alf and I are fine thanks, he’s snoring at the moment 🤣🐈‍⬛ hope all is well with you and your weather is also finally improving 🤗❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧💋
