Castleshaw valley and roman fort walk

[@AlanMETALMAN]

I love anything to do with the Romans, they absolutely fascinate me, especially the way the dominated the ancient world. That looked a cracking walk, great countryside there and great to see the information boards and even better they had not been vandalised. Great place to sit and have a break, especially when you have it all to yourself as well, great walk and the White Lion sounds the perfect end point, cheers Alan

Thanks Alan , I love history , and roman history fascinates me , I guess its because , we have these remains but there is so much we don't know , I know in the North it was never completely settled , like in the south with all the villas, and it was mainly lots of forts here in the North as they couldn't let their guard down . the walk is lovely very untouched by time. The white lion was good and food was cheap too 🙂🙂. Best wishes pal 🦇🦇🖤🖤

Once again a _VERY_ calming walk through my good friend. So calming. Also very intriguing to think about all of those wide open fields once held all of those Roman forts as well. History truly is all around us in several ways. 🦇🖤🎃

[@thehealthanarchist]

Thank you , it was a very calming walk , the main reason that I go out to these places, my mind is constantly deep in thought about the history of the area , I wonder what went on there in roman times from day to day and what their duties were and if there were any skirmishes and battles with the local celts. Take care my friend 🖤🖤🦇🦇🖤🖤

What a wonderful landscape. What a interesting history. At the area near I live the romans had a not so good time. There must be a great assault from the forest and moorland to a big roman military campaign that must had been destroyed from it. A britisch Officer Major Clunn detected a lot of coins and staff in the 1980s. A roman cavallery Helmut masc was found later and much other stuff until today.

Thanks , I read a book about the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, and how 3 entire roman legions were wiped out , I find the history and archaeology fascinating . I have seen that helmet mask , very weird looking. Best wishes pal , take care 🖤🖤🦇🦇

Look like really nice walking weather. And beautiful views too. Intresting history too. And yes, it can feel strange knowing what type of people walked there much, much earlier. Haha... That's my type of humor too! You should put down in description box what music you have in the video. Didn’t recognize the one today, but did love what I heard. Thanks for sharing John. Have a nice evening. Cheers 🦇🖤🖤🖤🖤🦇

[@thehealthanarchist]

Thanks , yes it was a great weather for walking sunny but not too hot , I really love a bit of history when walking, I will start adding the track info for songs I use, the one I used in the video was from some lyrics I wrote called Whoever you want to be, the music is computer generated on a song writing website called Udio , I have done many songs specifically for my channel on there , which I will make available for free download soon ,. I am also still working on a music/art project separate from my channel music , I have played and recorded the bass and guitar parts on these and the vocalist is still finishing his vocal parts on these songs when he gets time from the two jobs he does, but its going great. Hope you have a nice evening take care 🖤🖤🦇🦇🖤🖤

@@thehealthanarchist awww... That is even more awesome when you say the music is your own. I loved it and it's that type that once upon a time made me fall in love in Goth music. 🦇🖤🖤🖤🖤🦇

[@GillianSmith]

Really interesting video John; do love the history of the area......and those 'gallows' were awesome :)

[@thehealthanarchist]

Thanks Gilly , there is quite a lot of history in the area , but it is a bit hidden, you have to go out and look a bit, for some reason , a lot of the history around here isn't well publicised or generally known about.Take care and I hope you have an easy week 🖤🖤🦇🦇🖤🖤

[@theDexMcHenry]

Good one John. I'm going to have to visit that fort myself sometime.

[@thehealthanarchist]

Thanks, worth visiting Melandra roman fort too at Glossop , though the information boards are long gone there ,so a read up on it before hand is helpful . best wishes pal 🦇🦇🖤🖤
