Highlights from a walk to Maiden Castle this morning, which took us past the Sunflower Trail and around the edge of the hillfort.

1/5 "The profile of whole stupendous ruin, as seen at a distance of a mile eastward, is cleanly cut as that of a marble inlay. It is varied with protuberances, which from hereabouts have the animal aspect of warts, wens, knuckles, and hips.

The weather certainly wasn't the best for this, but could you imagine walking up here in the searing heat that it was yesterday?

Plus, we still got some great views out of it, even if it was very windy and cold up at the top.
