Northumberlandia

[Becky]

We went to visit Ian's family in the North East last weekend, and while we were there we went for a stroll around Northumberlandia. She is the largest human landform sculpture!

I took some photos on my new Samsung Note 3, and I thought you might be interested to take a peek:

Ian and me:

Looking back at the 'viewing mounds' (when we saw them, Ian said "Brrrr it's cold!" )

The nearby quarry:

Standing on her forehead, looking down at her... erm... grassy mounds!

Ian standing on the left boob! (photo taken from the right boob)

View up to her face:

Her right hand (gives a good idea of the scale of her):

Up that way in April, may have to have a detour from Durham?

If you get a chance to go it's quite a nice place for a stroll. They are currently building a visitors centre too!

Looks very interesting.

I live in North Yorkshire but have not heard about it. Is it new?

Cool looking place! I really liked the picture "Ian and Me" is is so artistic to think of it and be able to compose it the way it should be, love it!
