J.R. Mortimer's Yorkshire Wolds Barrows

I visited Duggleby Howe when I was on the Wolds Way last May, taking a detour of several miles. It would be great to do things like this again!!

Enforced Idleness gives me time to catch up on my drawings! This is the best form of therapy for me, reminding me of how I love to discover these places in the landscape. When I'm fitter, I intend to resume my Yorkshire-wide walks of discovery....although I will need volunteers to join me, no more going it alone! Here's another of my heroes, Mr Mortimer, a seed merchant who spent ages documenting all the Yorkshire Wolds burial mounds from Neolithic and Iron Ages before they were ploughed away.
