I was on the Platform of the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway an amazing place, but as usual, didn't manage to get a photo of myself next to one of their amazing locomotives. It's difficult to whip out a camera when you're a Roman!
They are a friendly bunch,
...willing to have a go...
...with a little training...
...they could even become useful troops!
We were busy, some people even came back both days, to continue the experience. Other members of The Deja Crew were on the Station and two were at the Pennington Hotel.
The whole even was part of a month long celebration of Ravenglass and Eskdale heritage - Lives in the Landscape.
There is an ongoing excavation of the vicus next to the fort site, just a few minutes walk south of the village, with report on their blog - Romans in Ravenglass - the excavation ends with an open day on 21st September. There will be a local presentation in November.
