Took a trip out in Cumbria to visit a few neolithic sites, two of which, Mayburgh Henge and King Arthurs Round Table, were a first visit for me. I also fitted in Long Meg and Her Daughters and Castlerigg Stone Circle.
I just made it to Castlerigg before the light went. It would have been glorious had I made it 20 mins earlier.

 

Mayburgh Henge and the one (of four originally) remaining stone inside:

King Arthur's Round Table:

Long Meg (you can see the cup and ring marks on her if you look closely):

And finally Castlerigg (note the mediaeval field system still visible). I just missed the sun going down behind the mountains:

Went to Wales over the holiday. Visited Swallow Falls. I was experimenting with this image. It's a 1.3 second exposure with an ND filter. Whilst the image was taking, I turned the focus to create the light effect. Not sure if it worked but I'll try the technique again sometime.

Picture taken by Mrs Ditto on a trip to Malta. We speculated Mont Bland. Google image search with Ai, said "Based on its distinct pyramidal shape and its isolated prominence above the clouds, this is almost certainly Monviso (also known as Monte Viso) in the Cottian Alps.". Then said definitely Mont Blanc, then flipped back 😄! A lot of Ai tools would do well to learn to say " I don't know, could be .....".WhatsAppImage2026-04-30at23_02_06.thumb.jpeg.ccb6aa099296fc2006e4da7d6b17b234.jpeg

Another trip to Cumbria to give the car a run out and stopped by Maybugh Henge. The banks are up to 4.6m high and made from cobbles taken from the nearby river Kennet and must have taken an age to construct as it's a very large henge indeed. If you didn't know, they suspect paces like this were to provide a barrier between the human space and the 'outside'. There were, originally, 4 standing stones inside, and the entrance faces the equinoctial sunrise. 
Then it was to King Arthurs Round table, a few mins walk away. Like Mayburgh, it was used as a meeting and ceremonial place. Finished off with ice cream at Lowther castle.

Went to catch up with the Red Arrows two weeks ago as they prepared to fly off to Cosford Airshow.

Had to take my car for a long run out last night due to a clogged DPF and (very) reduced performance.
A quick top of of fuel and some Forte DPF cleaner added to the tank, and we headed off to Long Meg and her Daughters near Penrith.
I don't think I've ever been there in summer and certainly not is t-shirt and shorts weather! The bonus was that we had the place to ourselves.
And yes, the Forte stuff worked most of my horses were back for the return journey :)
