Langcliffe Neolithic Caves
7 Teddy Tour posts this week, Blogger says :- 4 page views for last post Cludders Slack.
I’ll stick todays photos on without the waffle then give it a rest.
I think I'll play with my "old git" free bus pass for awhile, as the amount of fare that you save is like FREE BEER at the other end and no motoring or parking costs or blow into this sir !
Thanks for reading - cheers Danny & the Bear
Still following every post on Reader Danny! (Won't show up as a pageview I'm afraid.) That looks like a fascinating walk. Good luck with your bus-pass adventures.
You can keep the post coming as far as I am concerned, especially the "Waffle" as you call it. It's good to have a bit of context. You have even got me looking at molehills now - not that I have found anything of interest yet.
hi DaD WOW fantastic photo's... its true looking at the lanscape you can imagine that there was a different wildlife... and the caves do you know if people go researching in them... oh that hole in the ground is it a well ...a bit dodge leaving like that if its covered in snow one wouldn't see it... hey and the sheep they cerntainly climb...as always beauty of the sun settting thanyou ...big hugs xxxxx
Hi Justine, don't forget all the cliffs and rocks (limestone) were formed under a shallow tropical sea millions of years ago making the animals in the caves seem like only yesterday. The hole in the ground is an old mine shaft there's hundreds marked on the maps and even more not ! and yes they do trap sheep, see photo 17 http://teddytourteas.blogspot.co.uk/2011/05/tag-bale-hill.html XXXXX
Hi Danny. A fascinating piece. Those caves must have been cold, damp and cramped places in which to live. And I'm not so sure I'd like to share with a brown bear. It must have been a hard life back then. No free beer either. Alen McF
Hi Alen, I have thought how they'd manage the wet/mud maybe they chucked loads of willow and birch branches in ? because they've all been muddy :- http://teddytourteas.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/does-this-make-sense.html cheers Danny
Danny, Fantastic countryside and your photos are framed very well. The bird on the wall looks similar to our "chuckers" that live in some rugged landscape and are a much sought after game bird. I imagine that under a few inches of the cave floor lie the remains of prehistoric man.
Hi John the birds a Red Legged Partridge introduced and bred as a game bird along with Grouse and Pheasants but there's a growing number of escapees :- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-legged_Partridge Most of the caves have been excavated by the Victorians and the remains are now in museums. cheers Danny
