Geo-events for 2021

Mine Walk

As lockdown starts to ease in 2021 I am looking forward to recommencing geodiversity walks and will be posting more information here shortly with walks planned with the NE Geological Society on Sunday August 22nd and an AONB Geodiversity Walk on August 25th.

This Spring and Summer have been largely decicated to work on Hadrian's Wall. There are a series of events planned as part of the the Hadrian's Wall Community Archaeology Project (WallCAP). These are open to all and you can find out more by signing up as a volunteer on the WallCAP website. 

The new, fully updated edition of the Northumberland Coast Rocks! including a new set of maps and artwork, is still available. To order a copy just email me and payment can be sorted either by bank transfer or by cheque.

    Where has Hadrian’s Wall Gone?

    Before I answer that question, here is a little bit of background information from a manuscript fragment recently discovered in an obscure roman outpost at Ecclesia Novum-Oppidum near to the Fluvium Collegium (surprisingly close to where I live!) and published in the journal Falsus Nuntium.

  • Northumberland Coast Rocks!

    Northumberland Coast Rocks!

    This project, which was completed during 2015 organised by the Howick Heritage Group and supported with HLF funding, delivered a book, some educational work with a local first and middle school and a series of walks and talks. In this section of geo-diversity resources you can have a look at the presentation given for the walks and talks as well as much of the material which was used in the educational work including lesson plans, activities and exercises.  There is also a handy guide to fossils to be found on the beach at Seahouses (and elsewhere on the coast).
