I think my first known visit to a site would be the Gwernvale Long barrow near Crickhowell.. Was driven past it everyday on the way to school!

Not much left there really but the information plaque thing stoked an interest for sure!

Before that it was only summit cairns while walking with family/cubs/scouts...

(First one was probably the cairn on Mynydd Carn-y-cefn above the old mining towns of Blaina and Ebbw Vale)

To be honest I don't think I've been to one percent as many sites as some of you!


It doesn't matter how many sites you've been too, as there's always that next place even for us that's been to 1000's, it's addictive isn't it? and i think we should count our lucky stars anythings left there at all at Gwernvale, what with it been so close to the road, it's a lovely part of the country there though, i love the fish stone nearby, have you been? and i love the fact that people in the past thought the growing stone down the road actually grew out of the ground, i hope you stay around because this place could really do with some new blood, all the best, paul.
