The Slopes of Ingleborough

Ingleborough is one of the three peaks of Yorkshire with the remains of an Iron Age hill fort and a Roman camp on the summit. Unfortunately I've never made it to the top, turning back three times thanks to bad weather. Maybe one day :-)

The Heart of the Bunker

Welcome to the control room at the heart of the Hack Green nuclear bunker. The threat level is at it's most serious, Bikini Alert State Red - prepare for a hostile nuclear strike.

In the Event of a Nuclear Attack

From the Hack Green secret nuclear bunker:

In the event of a nuclear attack on the bunker, get under your canteen table for your safety and protection. Important notice: food is not permitted to be eaten whilst sheltering under your table

Secret Nuclear Bunker

Let's hope the enemy can't read English, otherwise they'll have no problem finding the Hack Green secret nuclear bunker. Hack Green was intended to be the government headquarters in the event of war. :-(

Luckily the bunker is no longer in use. Hack Green was abandoned at the end of the Cold War and reopened as a museum in 1998.

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch on the Isle of Anglesey has the longest place name in the U.K., 58 letters long! There's even a guide to pronunciation on the sign. The name is Welsh for Saint Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near the rapid whirlpool and the church of Saint Tysilio of the red cave. :-)
