Are you still doing that viking time travel au?

Part One: Bodies

One: You are Here.

Two: Here.

Author's Note: I am! So there's science I kind of completely bullshit because I just kind of stole the language from some studies I'm familiar with and probably a very shitty replica of how the British actually store archaeological material but I got so caught up in details I couldn't get it finished so it's thoroughly bullshit! The burial is based on the Repton Warrior, adjusted for fictional use ofc.

Archival Description of Burial A452 and A453 of Red Sail Hall Site

School of Archaeology - University of Oxford

Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art

Though further exploration into the site is certainly precluded by the sealing of the original site by the private owners, the four-month trial period of archaeological work on property associated with Red Sail Hall has proven themselves to be incredibly fruitful. Please review the following in-situ finds of particular significance. Of a group of 34 burials immediately south of the gardens of Red Sail Hall, the burial of an adolescent male, an extraordinary 187 centimeters is of special note. In an abutting grave was a second male inhumation, was found that of a child perhaps aged 12 standing at 134 centimeters.

The elder male was a person of obvious importance, apparently having met his end in battle or some other violent means. Likely incapacitated by a blow to the head as suggested by lacerations to the skull, the elder was then dispatched by sword cut. When measured, the damage to the vertebrae suggests the femoral artery would have most certainly been severed. The burial is in truly pagan fashion. On a silver ring around his neck was a silver Thor’s hammer between two red glass beads. A leather belt around the waist had been secured with a belt and bronze buckle with a fleece lined iron scabbard with an impressive tri-bloom pommel in classic Norse fashion. By the sword hilt there was a folding iron knife, a fixed knife with a wooden handle and halfway down the thigh was found three iron keys.

The skeleton in the abutting grave was tentatively Christian and of much poorer origin. A lead figure on a leather cord around the neck suggests Anglo-Saxon Christianity. An iron seax at the waist was of Cumbrian origin but the iron fittings of a leather quiver with bow and arrows inside found deposited at the left hand were of clearly Welsh origin. No other grave goods were found, but pollen deposites would suggest the presence of Michaelmas Daisies and Autumnal Crocus, suggesting a harvest-time burial.

Would recommend both graves for sampling and dental isotope analysis. Low-humidity storage recommended.

Oxygen Isotopes Conclusive Report of Paired Samples A452 and A453

Red Sail Hall Sample A452

Based on a framework of radiocarbon dates, the studied inhumation grave of Red Sail Hall Sample A452 upon analysis of radiocarbon determination and isotope ratio mass spectroscopy reveal an observed dietary variation of game protein intake with high amounts cereal grains primarily wheat. Noted markers of deprivation at aged 15-16 are seen. This finding is consistent with an origin of the Danish mainland of the 150-50 BCE.

Red Sail HAll Sample 453

Sample of nebulous value. Sample noted to be from a child with pre-adolescent degrading of sample in-situ. Whilst there is no clear pattern of isotopic offsets between skeletal elements, the sole first molar analyzed shows a high degree of isotopic enrichment for both δ13C and δ15N. As the first molar forms during infancy, a conclusion of high status, high protein diet can be drawn. The second sample however, suggests marked poverty and high cereal and plant based diet. This finding is consistent with an incongruous origin of the samples labeling suggesting instead the British Isles, most likely Cumbria, 1st Century CE

Conclusion signed and certified by Aroha Kaipo, National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research Isometric Laboratory, New Zealand.

Red Sail Hall, 21st Century

“I’m not entertaining the possibility because it’s not possible.” Arthur snapped, pacing about the kitchen. Rhys dragged his hand down his face.

“How many times do we have to go over this? Zee did the results herself!”

“Once more, I bloody suppose because I am standing right here!”

“I’m not saying I know how, I’m just saying its you. And Magnus.”

“It’s horse shit!”

“Arthur!” Rhys pressed him into a chair by the shoulders. He was practically vibrating with agitation. His leg started bouncing.

“I am not a figment of my own imagination! I’m just here!”

“Yes, you are.”

“They can’t have drug up my corpse from the back garden when I am standing right here!”

“And yet they have.”

4, 5 and 11 for the asks??

mythical creature you think/believe is real? dragons 100%! or at least they were. i took a medieval chronicles class at university and these texts are both extremely historically accurate, as best we know, AND littered with references to dragons. they're like oh and in the year 700 Alfred became king (true) and these rival lords scalped each other (true) oh and there was a great dragon across the sky in Cumbria (also true, to me)

favorite form of potato? potato smiley faces. i will not be judged for this i am a happy person

anything from your childhood you’ve held on to? hahahahaha it would be harder to say what I haven't. at current count I think I have five (?) massive storage boxes under my bed at my parents' house that house every piece of artwork i've ever made, photos, souvenirs, school reports, my entire collection of one direction memorabilia, about 100 sylvanian families etc.

A micro-adventure photo shoot in the Yorkshire Dales

The biking back story

I used to absolutely love mountain biking. My sister introduced me to the sport as a way of keeping fit, just after I realised that something evil was afoot regarding my health. Loved it. Turns out I am a total speed freak mud junkie, and it was with a very heavy heart the mtb went into the shed, reluctantly discarded for a hybrid ebike.

It’s a lovely machine, but to me it represents what I can’t do rather than what I can - especially as the distances are slowly but surely reducing down to around 8km-10km a week and counting. Backwards.

Anyway. To break the monotony of the ‘from the doorstep’ routes I had the idea of taking my e-bike on the train. A blindingly obvious idea, seeing as I live on the infamously scenic Settle to Carlisle Railway.

For those not in the know, this line is among the best known rail journeys in the UK, and easily one of the most scenic. It stretches 73 miles (117km) from Settle in Yorkshire, crosses the dramatically beautiful Pennines - the ‘roof of England’ - and ends at Carlisle in Cumbria.

Disappointing the Strava Gods

The 12.34 train from Kirkby Stephen arrived at Horton-in-Ribblesdale about half an hour later. It was cold, REALLY cold. Drizzly. Almost wished I hadn’t bothered to be honest. A quick squint at Google Maps took me a mile down the road to the (lovely) Middle Studfold Farm tea rooms, where I refuelled my enthusiasm with food.

The Dales village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale, even on a grey day, is undeniably stunning. Not much was open, which is to be expected in February, but there wasn’t much to be open even in summer. It’s a perfect destination for cyclists, walkers and peace-seekers who find the nearby Lake District just a bit too hot to handle when the holiday crowds descend. 

I kept the route short, around 7km in total, and stuck to exploring some of the tiny back lanes in search of some nice photography moments. Hardest part was trying to turn a blind eye to the absolutely perfect mtb terrain…

I used to get pointlessly upset about my decreasing Strava kudos. Mercifully I’ve managed to cut myself some slack on this, I now no longer feel I have to appease the Gods of Strava and worry about those little pixellated trophies. Chasing QoM is yet another Thing I’ve allocated to the mental storage unit of ‘You Did It, Though’.

All the photos in this blog were taken - through necessity - from the roadside, but perhaps it goes to show you don’t always have to hike off the beaten path. 

The Ribblehead Viaduct

For the benefit of Ribblehead Viaduct newbies, it is the most impressive structure on the Settle-Carlisle Railway, and was constructed between 1869 and 1874.

Pentax MV / Kodak Gold 400

The day after this mini adventure I was disappointingly very sore indeed, tragic Strava stats to one side I’m very glad I didn’t try anything fancier. I’ve promised myself I’ll bring the bike back to the Settle-to-Carlisle line in warmer weather, maybe hop off at Ribblehead Viaduct. Even if at that point I’m down to 5km, 3km, 1km or hobbling off the train with a picnic, it’s still better than not going at all.

Til next time folks, peace out.

Douglas C-47B Dakota ‘G-ANAF’ by Alan Wilson Via Flickr: c/n 33436/16688. Built 1944. Allocated US military serial 44-77104. RAF serial ‘KP220’. Airworthy and operated by Air Atlantique as a radar trails aircraft, it is currently being converted back to a passenger aircraft for possibly charter work and pleasure flights. I have a vivid personal memory of this particular ‘Dak’. We were at Luton Airport back in 1978 and although I lived 10 miles from Duxford I had never (knowingly) seen a Dakota. However, even as an 8-year old there was no mistaking that head-on silhouette as what was clearly a Dakota lined-up on the approach, still miles away. “It’s a Dakota, it’s a Dakota” I called excitedly, to be told something along the lines of “it can’t be” or “don’t be silly”. However, a Dakota it was, and G-ANAF landed and taxied by, in full Air Atlantique markings. This moment was the beginning of the ‘Hawkeye’ nickname which has been proven again and again over the years, and (I like to think) still applies today. Many years later, I am delighted that my first ‘Dak’ is still flying. She is seen here under maintenance in the display hangar at ‘Coventry - Airbase’, Coventry Airport, UK 11-10-2015 The following info is from the Classic Air Force website:- “G-ANAF (affectionately referred to as ‘Ganaph’ by the Classic Flight team and volunteers) began life in 1944. Built at Douglas Aircraft’s Santa Monica plant in California it was issued the USAAF serial 44-77104 and taken on charge in June 1945, just after the end of the war in Europe. With a diminished need for transport aircraft the aircraft was immediately transferred to the Royal Air Force and became KP220. After six months in Canada, KP220 arrived in the UK where it joined the strength of 435Sqn Royal Canadian Air Force, coded OFM-R, and operated from the old Croydon Airport. After a year of mundane duties KP220 was selected to become the personal aircraft of the Air Officer Commanding 46 Group RAF. She was clearly in good condition as it was later moved to RAF Bassingbourn (the wartime home of the B-17 Memphis Belle) and allocated to 24 (VIP) Sqn. It was coded ODA-H and served with the squadron until it was finally retired in November 1950. Like so many ex-RAF Dakotas KP220 was flown 22 Maintenance Unit (MU) at Silloth in Cumbria where it awaited its eventual fate. Unlike many of its compatriots KP220 was saved from the scrap man and after a period of storage at Silloth she was purchased by a BKS Aerocharter Ltd in June 1953. The same month she appeared on the British< civil register as G-ANAF and was named ‘Jean Batten’ in recognition of the famous aviatrix. The company was later renamed BKS Air Transport Ltd and they operated ‘Alpha Fox’ until November< 1958 when she was sold to Hunting Aero Surveys Ltd (later Hunting Surveys & Consultants Ltd). Hunting operated G-ANAF until April 1973 but it wasn’t until March 1977 that it was finally registered to its subsequent owner - Westcountry Aircraft Servicing Ltd at Exeter. They didn’t hang onto the aeroplane for long though because in October of the same year it was transferred to the up and coming Air Atlantique Ltd! Air Atlantique initially used the aeroplane on ad hoc charter work but it eventually found its niche delivering the mail on a contract from the Post Office. G-ANAF continued in this role under the Air Atlantique banner until June 1985 when the post contract – and G-ANAF – were transferred to subsidiary company Air Luton. It was reportedly operated for a short period by Topflight Aviation Company Ltd but the aircraft was never registered to that company, which in any event ceased trading in 1987. Later in 1987 interest was expressed in G-ANAF by an American company called the Starflite Corporation. The Miami-based company got as far as registering the aircraft as N170GP but the sale subsequently fell through and G-ANAF stayed in Britain. She returned to the British civil register – this time registered to Atlantic Air Transport Ltd (part of the Air Atlantique Group). After many years successfully plying her trade as a freighter G-ANAF was selected to be converted for use in Radar trials. A large radome was designed and fitted beneath her ‘chin’ and a variety of external aerials adorn the fuselage. On board test equipment was fitted within the cabin and the aircraft has been used< successfully to test Radar systems developed by both Racal and Thales. An auxiliary power unit was also fitted to the side of the fuselage when the internal power supply was found to be inadequate to run the increasingly powerful Radar sets. Today G-ANAF is finished in a stunning red and black colour scheme and continues to earn her keep as a dedicated trials aircraft.”
