Gamelands (Stone Circle)

7 Feb 2000 - Ian, Andrea, Bart and Claire

"Let Me Speak To The Driver" indeed.

Well this driver shouts back

"East! East!"

Beware of Cope's directions on this one, go east not west the track is on the summit of the road on the left and is very rutted. You can just about park at the top of the track if you don't mind losing your car to the sheep.

Well we found it in the end. And a rainy day turned to sunshine as we arrived so perhaps Cope knew it would be so and that's why he led 4 damp people a not-so-merry-dance in such a small car.

The Rollright Stones (Stone Circle)

21/12/1999

Not the best morning for travelling due to the only snowfall of the entire winter falling on the Solstice.

Arriving before dawn, I was supposed to meet Bart here but despite using back roads and mobiles we failed so I had the place to myself with fresh snow and a friendly robin sitting in the hedge.

A break from reality - early morning peace, a special moment to myself before fighting my way to work back up the M40.
