After seeing the NVA kit in the first two photos I was desperately searching for NVA in all of the others. I thought it was some sort of NVA-themed "Where's Wally," until I realised that Wally was actually sitting in front of the screen, in my living room.

Great idea. We'll have to go back to The Black Bull to plant them, though. Oh, well...

Re: NVA in Weardale...
I wasn't sure if this photo shoot was to publicise NVA gear or an excuse for downing real ale and pub grub
