I went for a walk from Holystone and eventually found the small section of Roman road uncovered by archeological excavations. It's at 55.309691,-2.102539 if anyone is interested. I went here a couple of months ago with a u3a natural history group but last time I visited I couldn't see where we had turned off.

Here's a local news article about the dig: https://www.northumberlandgazette.co.uk/news/people/archaeological-dig-in-rural-northumberland-given-the-go-ahead-thanks-to-grant-3403581

Haven't been on here because spent the previous week on a bike trip. It was lovely. The first part was a rails-to-trails path and the second half was the old roman road / pilgrims path.

Highlights:
🪨 Biked on a roman road and counted down the roman mile stones!
🏞️ Pretty landscapes
🍽️ Ate well
🫏 Slept next to donkeys
💑 Spent time with my partner

Accomplishments:
🚄 First time disassembling the bikes for the train
⛰️ Most climbing in a day & steepest mountain climbed (800+ m / cat 3)
⚙️ First major field repair (chain twisted and had to convert to a single speed)

Takeaways:
🧦 Bring extra dry socks (it was colder and wetter than we had planned on)
