Description Taken on Spring Equinox (21.3.2012) around noon.
As we walked uphill this pointed stone in the avenue caught my eye. Checked the alignment to Kestor Rock from position near its inner face, which I think was approximately 60degs. (Forgot to make a note to self!)

The equinox was on the 20th this year, Angie.

Doh! Don't quote me about the angle either. Given the higher ground here, it may have tracked sunrise on the Summer Solstice, approx, like Equinox is 'approx', ;-) [Doesn't the sun rise in around the same place the two days either side of these Equinox/Solstices?]

Yeah, I don't think it really matters. I just get a little pedantic about it since having had an argument with an American at Chichen Itza once. Also the 21st is my birthday, so I tend to be aware of it more.

Many happy returns David! Mine's the 30th. A couple of rams, eh? ;-)

Wow! I was there on the afternoon of the 21st too! Still have some photos to put on. I should have contacted you - damn!

OMG - I've just realised that this was taken on 22nd! On 21st Jackie and I were driving from Whiddon Down to Crediton via Hittesleigh, and back to her Batworthy home via Bow! [When I took the sunset photo.] That'll teach me to put up photos late at night... ;-)
