Really cool find at Fannies Emporium in Morpeth; a mid-20th century BDH "Spot Test" chemical analysis kit for identifying elements via colour-change reactions. Contains reagents and a handbook. Of note is the test for Thorium.

Linhope Spout sits like a jewel at the base of the Cheviot Hills. Its crystal‑clear cascade feeds a bubbling burn, but the waterfall is more than a scenic highlight - it’s a key geological
marker.

Finchy the Goldfinch was a very happy chappy, who came to tell us all about the Uranium. In return for one small piece of cookie, he told us all about the secret radioactive waterfall and where to find it. Thank you Finchy.

Whilst on holiday to the South West Scottish Coast, we went looking for the location of the finale of the 1973 film The Wicker Man.
This location is certainly prime for a future (uranium) hunt.

So yes, the Harry Potter studio tour did have a couple of little hotspots. I will just have to go back to examine them in more detail.

I've had a brilliant time visiting the Peak District in Derbyshire today for the YouTube channel - and cannot wait to put this up as a video. If you like spooky mines, mineral-filled caves, radioactivity, stunning vistas and a few surprises, this is the video for you.

The waterfall in the River Nent at Nenthead is a significant geological feature, formed by exposures of the Great Limestone. It is particularly notable for its lead- and zinc-rich metasomatic replacement flat mineralization.

I hear you guys like Waterfalls, how about a secret waterfall in Northumberland - so secret that it isn't on any maps!
Amazing what you find searching for Uranium - and did I find any? Stay tuned to find out if I did!

A wonderful day with the learned friends of the North East Geological Society in the ore fields of Weardale discovering all about mineralisation. Leading the expedition was Dr. Brian Young, a rock star in the truest sense. And of course, Burt the Hedgehog was a big hit with his cheerful snozness.

A little tease for my next video - the third and final part of the Carrock Mine adventure. This is a side you don't often see, the 1913 Tungsten buildings on the South of Grainsgill Beck.
