Sense of wonder

I have spent the last two weekends visiting various sites The Hoar Stone and the Rollrights etc a couple of weeks ago and a tour of some of the Aberdeenshire sites with Moey last weekend and it never ceases to amaze me just how fantastic these places are. And this can be in scale, location or sensation for example The Standing Stones of Stennes encapsulate all three - (and I have never felt so calm and relaxed in my life as I did sitting against one of the Stones at Stennes one sunny evening taking it all in, months of tension and stress evaporated almost immediately)

I have been to some fantastic places maybe some that I never would have imagined myself going to because of the Modern Antiquarian. I saw Copey a couple of times on his TMA promotonal tour and he said that one reason for writing the book was to get people out of the cities and exploring the countryside in my case its mission accomplished although I don't get out nearly as often as I would like.
My mission for this year is to get out exploring as often as possible especially as most of last year was a washout due to the Foot and Mouth thing.
Anyway thanks Julian for writing the book and thank you to you all for contributing to the TMA site as it is an invaluable tool in conjunction with the book in planning expeditions.
See ya
