>>it was too late in the evening
>Did you concur? For if there was ever a good way to test a gps, it would be trying to find RA in the >dark. That Rathgeran one looks quite well hidden, are there 8digit refs?

I did, grudgingly! Its on his land and he promised to show it to me if I called back, nice fellow.
FW's has the gps co-ords on his site so I was using those and plan on using them again soon...

>Raather nice. Love to see it courtesy of a well placed side flash. The web is in dire need of more >pics of Irish rock art.

FW's pics are superb aren't they, best I've seen of Irish Rock art and the reason I was dying to see Rathgeran in late evening. Anthony Weir has some good 'uns with a dab of sidelighting on his site too.

>By which I mean proper rock art, with cups, rings and grooves, none of that funny looking, wiggly >passage grave stuff ;)

You have to love that passage grave stuff! Frenzied and 'off the wall' if you pardon the pun ;)

Rathgeran really is an outstanding bit of RA. Looking at the pic of the whole stone, it's lovely. Nice and balanced, not over the top, just right.

Be it by farmer or FW, the older form of GPS (Guided in Person to Site), would seem better than stumbling about in deep heather in the dark.
At least until the handheld units can summon up a rescue 'copter for those occasions when you find yourself at the bottom of a hole, halfway up a hill, in the middle of the night, possibly with a broken ankle.
