(User Info | Send a Message) | Is there still room for me on John Barnatt's talk/walk on Saturday Morning, 28th July 9.30-10.00. I have wanted to meet John ever since I read his PHD thesis on the architecture of Stone Circles.
Regards

(User Info | Send a Message) | Hello Delwyn, you just squeaked in with a place, you're booked in - this walk is now full but there are lots of other walks and activities to be announced shortly on this page.
I'll be back in touch nearer the time as we need to sort out some car
sharing - either to give or accept lifts.
Look forward to seeing you all

(User Info | Send a Message) | Already looking forward to it. I'll bring a box of stone axes . . .
I have a mission to find Dudwood stone circle. I contacted the poster of the picture and he had lost his notebook and couldn't tell me where his photo was taken. We could try to find it . . . | [ Reply to This ]

(User Info | Send a Message) | | I think I can show you the stone in that picture - the one with the holes in. It's just an old gatepost though, no stone circle there as far as I know! I'll happily go stone circle hunting though! |
