Sorry - that was a bit cryptic wasn't it? The building in question is the old cathar castle called Château de Durfort which overlooks the gorges of the Orbieu. It was constructed in the 10th century and in 1209 the Lord of Durfort sided with the Cathars. In 1241, however, the castle now under the command of Olivier de Termes submitted to Louis IX. In 1659, Louis XIV signed the Treaty of the Pyrenees with the Kingdom of Spain which altered the borders, giving Roussillon to France this reducing the 'strategic' importance of the castle. In the 18th century, the castle appears to been abandoned but due to its isolated position it was not stripped of its stones to build new dwellings, hence its ruins were preserved. It's now private property and apparently can be visited free of charge with prior authorisation from the owners (shame we didn't have the time!).

If you go down to the woods today

Thanks to @Dauntless for the info on this bumble.

ASDA really must have a dirty machine. Totally screwed up this film!

I tend to use 20 year out of date badly stored film stock and chemicals when I develop and the effect I get I like. ASDA had a few rolls of fresh film and there are more dirty spots on it than Stephen Hendry circa 80's.

That will learn me.

Anyway, car **** on film.

I did a video and loads of photos of this place - but sadly i felt it was not worthy of a full report so decided not to take it any further but a picture of what i did find.
