I am always filled with excitement when I visit a site even if I have been there before.
Lanhill and Lugbury are two of my closet places and I never tire of seeing them even after being introduced to them over 30 years ago. I suppose I feel like I have a personal responsibility for them, to make sure they are ok.

I quite like to be on my own but also enjoy showing places to people who are interested. I also don’t mind chatting to other visitors about them either, it always nice to here other peoples views.
I love to visit Avebury but prefer to go outside the normal tourist visiting times. During those busy times I am often found visiting the much lesser know places around the complex. They are almost always peaceful.

When I arrive I will walk around and study both ‘it’ and the surrounds and take in as much as I can. I will then workout if I can get a few good photos worthy of TMA but if not I will take a few for my own benefit.
And then I will sit or stand and just look and listen and feel the weather (wind, rain, sun or snow).
It is such a relaxing and energising this hobby of ours :o)

Wales always send a tingle down my spine, its the landscape still wild enough to be pleasing. The Presceli mountains, Carreg Samson, Pentre Ifan. Waylands Smithy is another favourite, its sort of classy, upmarket, though I know its been restored.
Avebury I've known for years, even before it became FAMOUS, driving from Calne and glimpsing Silbury just before the dip to the Beckhampton roundabout. Wandering up to EKLB and just looking at this immense long barrow with all its secrets waiting to be unfurled. Stoney Littleton LB, sometimes the most peaceful place on earth, with the Wellow brook below and the sheep browsing. Stanton Drew circle for its stones, some so square you wonder why they got chosen, others beautifully coloured and shaped....
