The Lunt Roman Fort is not a million miles away from Broadwell and on Monday and Tuesday next week, they're calling for volunteers to come and help paint wood preserve on the ramparts and Gyrus.
The site is really in need of a bit of TLC and ASDA have very kindly donated some dosh and bods to help.
A small cafe will be open on Tuesday, and did you know that there will be a free talk by one of the guides on the Trajan frieze which adorns the walls in the granary. Did you know that the actual column in Rome was originally painted? Can you imagine what that must have been like?
Well there's 3 good reasons to come along this Tuesday. Gates open 10:30-11. Bring you lunch and water, and if it's anything like today, a hat and sunscreen, and if not....an umbrella!!!!
The cafe and Trajan talk will be every Tuesday with the talk starting at 1pm.
Like I said, it's not far from Broadwell, probably a mere half days march by your average Roman soldier!
See you Tuesday!
