Log Text: in the ignorance and folly of youth i was just a passenger in a car passing, betwixt music festivals. we stopped. this was before any fences. I attempted to climb the gradient, and managed about 10 feet. it seemed very precipitous. No-one laughed at my failure to scale the slope as they had attempted nothing. i have no idea who i was with, where i had come from and where i was going. ay. viva la 1971

Mitchell's Fold submitted by Orpbit on 21st Mar 2025. The Lion Roared at Mitchell's Fold stone circle on the Equinox and I roared back. After 14 years of researching the site I finally got the one image I really wanted. Almost perfect weather, yet I was the only one there to observe sunrise on this Spring Equinox of 2025, except for a local couple doing a morning walk, who caught up with me walking down the track back to my car. Pity we didn't bump into each other before the sunrise, as I had spare eclipse glasses too. And for me it beat even Stone...

A composite shot looking towards Corndon Hill, and Mitchell's Fold (out of view).
It was snowing hard at this point on Midwinter Solstice Eve, and even I was questioning my sanity about being in this exposed, beautiful and dramatic landscape.
A biting wind meant I did not stay here for any longer than necessary to get a shot, but on subsequent trips, it will be worth spending tim...

Log Text: a great little ring cairn right on the ridge, so has views to NW and SE, so would have been very visible on the skyline.
not protected and unfortunately the footpath goes right over it. so is eroding.

West Tump
Date Added: 17th Jun 2023
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 27th Jan 2017. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
West Tump submitted by drolaf on 27th Jan 2017. West Tump (Cranham) long barrow is about 60 metres long, and faces east. It lies in quiet mixed and beech woodland, so is in good condition and is not hard to find, up the hill but not on the crest. There is also what might be a ww2 bunker nearby.
Trees on the barrow have been felled and brushwood marks the barrow borders, and acts as a barrier to off road bicycles. The barrow's future seems secure.
