You certainly live in a beautiful area. Nicely seen.
It sure would look different, and not in a better way, with a mass of windmills studding the skyline

Thanks Gary. They were actually going to be just a few hundred yards to the right of where I took this pic from. Five of them at around 400 feet high. There are already six about half a mile further over. Happily the plan was rejected.

Thank you Mike. I've always found the emphasis given to that middle ridge by the drystone wall running along its top quite interesting.

I bet there was a fort on that mound in ancient times.

And you would win your bet West. Castlesteads Hill Fort, from the Iron Age. Google Castlesteads Hill Fort , The Helm, Kendal.

And bats. They also make oodles of money for those who put them up, none of whom ever live anywhere near them.

Ah, the good ol days, now it's all about rules and more rules: don't pillage that, don't kill them, don't burn this ... blah .. blah

You obviously have the right spirit for it and a good eye for a building plot too! Now we're all locked down and only allowed out of the fort to walk the cur and hunt something at the supermarket.
