Hi, My name is Graham and I have joined the Friends of Vindolanda, I have visited the site on the 30th and 31st of May. In the process taking a number of photographs, 60 on Saturday ( camera battery gave up on me). Then some more yesterday on my return. I think this site is brilliant and will continue to visit on a regular basis, to see any new finds and digs in progress. Would also be interested in volunteering for any digs in 2009, holidays permitting of course. And when I can figure out how to post some photo's I will, so any help in that department would be gratefully appreciated. And I have just noticed after I posted this message, I forgot the second d in the title sorry..

Human JCB - simple really, but it describes accurately the work a group of us undertook revealing the north west corner of stone fort 1 last year.
Kate ;)
