Fieldnotes
| Thanks to a friendly local, we had little difficulty in locating the 'car park', and the walk up the hill didn't seem that far either. First view is amazing as you come to the stile and realise it's just there in front of you! I had remembered my torch, and crawled inside, but found the external light was sufficient to see what I was doing. But, being a wuss in confined spaces, I didn't go all the way in - just past the first side chambers was far enough for me to explore. I tried a couple of basic chants to test the acoustics before I left, but found that the sound was just absorbed by the stones (the 'eggbox' effect). Sitting outside and facing the entrance I noticed that the hills behind the barrow seem to surround and 'cuddle' the barrow itself. Has anyone else noticed this, or is it just my imagination? I was reticent to leave, but with Mikki waiting down below, I reluctantly returned to the car. This post appears as part of the weblog entry Too far, and too wide a net...
