<b>The Plague Market At Merrivale</b>Posted by BeakerUK
I am a simple being, really: a highly stressed primary teacher who is never happier than when all alone in the middle of nowhere with some big stones. Or at least as close as I can get to that considering strenuous walking is a bit beyond me and those other darned people who like to visit such places when I am looking for a bit of peace and quiet!

Having been visiting the Penrith area of Cornwall pretty much all my life, I am a bit ashamed to admit that it is only very recently that I have been disocvering the megalithic sites there, with Boscawen un high on my list of favourites.

But I have now discovered the Lake District and live within day-trip reach. And Castlerigg has become my favourite place on the planet (so far, closely followed by Mayburgh Henge "But it's so BIG!")

However, after calling me whilst on a trip around the countryside on my 18th birthday, and having called me back many times since, the Rollright Stones will always have a special place in my heart.
