Re: Announcing the Portal's 'Ley Line' and Alignment Finder by Palden on Sunday, 10 May 2026

Thanks for this - brilliant.

In the alignments map I have manually made of (mainly) West Penwith and also of Cornwall, I used a 3m/10ft accuracy level, with a wider leeway of up to 10m/30ft in some cases when major sites are involved.

The Michael Line starts at Carn Les Boel (just south of Land's End), not St Michael's Mount. The two meandering currents do meet at St Michael's Mount but the straight alignment passes through the car park cafe near Marazion, a mile away on the mainland!

An interesting aside: if you take a line from the Hurlers through St Michael's Mount, it comes to Tol Pedn Penwith (Gwennap Head), the southwesternmost point of mainland Britain.

But I wish Hamish and Paul had used a different name for the 'Michael current' - it has caused all sorts of confusion between the current and the alignment!

The Cornwall maps I've done are found here: https://www.ancientpenwith.org/maps.html.

Best wishes, Palden
