Don't wait for me - in fact, it's better that I'm not there. I would grumble and attempt to tap you up for things. Alston is a good meeting place - try either The Angel Inn or the railway station. It's perfectly possible to get to Whitehouse 4-poster, Holymire (Kirkhaugh) stone circle and the Thornhope stone rows in an extended autumn afternoon. I don't mind writing out maps and stuff and posting them to Hob. I have a postal address for him that is tried and tested.

With a bit of a push the Cumbria County Archaeologist would come and look at that four-poster. It's never been investigated, there are two pairs of stones, one pair to the east, one pair to the west. None of the stones have been scrutinised from nearer than the passing bus. I took the County Archaeologists, from Northumberland, to the Thornhope rows, they find a cup-marked rock there and then tell me row 1 is a medieval field wall remnant. Both the Holymire and Thornhope sites are littered with rocks that nobody has ever given a second glance. (And so on).
