Many of us have always been a bit reticent in mentioning anything about it as we were concerned that anything made public might have prejudiced a fair trial. Pretty naive considering all the conspiracy theories, books and TV programs made since then. It was the northeast where the T-shirt known as the Hizbulha T-shirt was found (whether it actually represented that organisation I don't know for sure), along with significant amounts of money. It has all been made public over the years, but even now the authorities still refuse to confirm, or even acknowledge some of what was seen and found. This is despite the fact a number of us witnessed the finds. I only really mention it on here as some of the more senior team members have since died and these stories should be recorded by those who were there rather than second hand in the papers or on TV. <br /><br />Anyway on a lighter note those old boys really were great characters and really gave us a laugh. I bet it was a great bike ride through the area in 1995, although in summer it's probably the best way to experience the place given the midges. You should head back sometime as there is a great mix of industrial heritage, alongside some interesting walking.

I had no idea the debris from flight 103 was scattered across such a wide area.<br />It's not an place I know, despite having cycled through Bellingham in about 1994 and continued through Kielder and down to the Lakes. I should go back and take another look.<br />Loved those comments from the old boys. Characters like that make the world go round. I hope I've got the wits to shout things across the street when I've reached that age. Not that I'm in a hurry, mind.<br />Great pictures as usual!<br />Cheers, Alen<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739575111461729992.post-4059947908853326932014-01-23T08:10:03.307-08:002014-01-23T08:10:03.307-08:00Thank you taking the time to comment Lindsey. Woo...Thank you taking the time to comment Lindsey. Woodland and waterfalls, they fit together perfectly don't they. Nice places for inspiration too. I have just had a quick look on your blog and I love the reflective face in the Silver Birch log (May 2012 post). I always look for interesting shapes and pattern in the bark of trees, but have never seen one with that impact - a true woodland spirit.
