Title: TR - Alport Castles
Post by: - Dave - on 21:21:31, 23/11/17
Some nice scenery to be had in these parts, better weather than the last time I was here as well! Very hazy though, which is a shame. If you were wondering, the panorama was taken on my phone and tinkered with using the Snapseed App

Great photos & blog Dave.  It must be about 30 years since I was last there, so it brought back memories.

we did this walk a couple of weeks ago but in the opposite direction. I remember saying to the other half that I think I would like to have tried it this way as we got a bit lost after Lockerbrook Farm, we followed the obvious path round past the derelict building and climbed up the grassy bank towards the stone path.

Lovely photos, I assume the panorama is Mordor and the orks are just out of shot.
