I have visited· I would like to visit

TheCaptain couldn't find on 21st May 2005 I drove round all the lanes I could find north of St Amande looking for something here but other than signs pointing to the farm of the same name I couldn’t find that farm. None of them seem to have names. I saw a poste van and was tempted to stop it and ask the postman. I was not helped by long winding lanes with nowhere to turn and various road works.

Now destroyed dolmen after the owner decided to destroy it to make a trackway. 3 slabs are still visible, placed on the wall along the new path, 2m from the initial position.

Le propriétaire a décidé de le détruire pour faire un chemin. 3 dalles de grès sont encore visibles, déposées sur le mur longeant le nouveau chemin, à 2m de la position initiale.

    yes, I think that was what I was looking for, but was being a bit lazy this morning in getting the page added. Sometimes (very often) its easier and quicker for me to add a page with an approx poosition, or what I recorded on my trips, then sort it out later. Otherwise, they just dont get added !!!!
