Kirsten and the Coordinatrix hiking to Culag Woods in Lochinver. It was so green.

I like to take pictures of Kirsten taking pictures. I have lots.
The Iron Bridge -- This was the first cast iron bridge and the valley where it was built was the cradle of the Industrial Revolution.

I visited the Castlerigg Stone Circle near Keswick. When we arrived, there was some sort of ceremony with hand-holding and chanting and rock hugging going on.
Sitting on some fort ruins on Hadrian's Wall. We ate our lunch here and the entire time I thought about how funny it was that I was munching a sandwich on what was once a hugely fortified military structure. Ha ha, Romans!
I've never seen tug-of-war as an event in the highland games in the States. It's surprisingly fantastic. The participants literally dig their heels into the ground and then there's a man standing to the side for each team and his job is to turn red in the face yelling for them to pull together.

Oh MBC, why do your photos cause me physical pain at wanting to see such things in real life?? Gorgeous.
What an awesome Tug-of-war! I guess it makes since for the whole iron bridge being where the Industrial Revolution started. It's pretty. As are all the other places you are visiting.
