Dorset Cursus (South to Thickthorn Down) by UncleRob The sun joins the bones of the ancestors. I like to think there would now have been a massive summer-emulating feast (think p*ss-up and barbecue rather than turkey and sprouts) so as to draw him/her back through sympathetic magic, but who knows what they got up to.

"The sun joins the bones of the ancestors." Beautifully put and the opposite to what you'd normally think. And hey, why not? gjrk Posted by gjrk

Cheers gjrk. It's great fun approaching an enigmatic place like the cursus and trying to give it a new theory each time. And they never seem to run out. UncleRob Posted by UncleRob
