Arthur's Stone (Dolmen / Quoit / Cromlech) — Fieldnotes

Visited these on May 10th 2003, a bit rainy and we had a bit of trouble with the directions at first even though there was a sign and everything, it's simple when you know how. There were other visitors - a couple reading in a car enjoying the stones, and a family turned up as we left.

It is an enjoyable view from the stones and has that familiar feel that you get at other sites, is it almost a Deja Vu thing? Who knows, who cares, nice wine this...

It rained a bit but cleared wonderfully later on, wish I had stayed a couple of hours now, what a waste.

Anyway, it is another good site, and worth visiting Hay on Wye afterwards (the town of books).

43 years old and visiting more and more stones all the time, some may think I submit too many pics of the sites I visit, and I haven't visited many difficult sites yet, but I am a beginner, I've always been interested since I visited Stonehenge in the 70's when you could walk around the stones there. Then that TV show with old Copey turned me onto the book and the website and my couple of visits to the obvious sites in Cornwall and locally looked a bit sick. So I promise I will get the Ordnance map out and the compass and trek a bit for my art. I love photography and really enjoy trying to get a good pic of the stones and appreciate that I can be spoiling someones vibe at the stones as much as they are bugging me and praps we should all chill out a bit, weird that sometimes you get a place to yourself and other times its like rush hour.

Love the stones, and I keep looking at my local maps for the unphotographed locally.

There will be more
