Yes, shall we make one? ; > } and i see TSC put on some great photo's earlier as well of the rounded Zenner hill outcrops and the more squarish Sperris quoit ones, did you see them? and i was surprised to hear you didn't go look at the sad remains of Sperris Quoit when you were there as it's only a few 100 yards away from Zennor quoit, there's always next time though, i bet it would shock you how close you were to it.
