OK folks, it’s that time of the year!
Sorry to be boring but nothing surpasses Avebury for me. I've only visited twice this year but whenever I do it's like a first visit all over again as there is always something new to discover if you are constantly researching the area. On my second visit I had the pleasure of meeting up with some TMA'ers who have become firm friends and that in itself was worth the visit alone. I've also been out and about in Cornwall but not as much as I would have liked due to other projects. What was your favourite site visit of 2011 and why?
I will start the ball rolling:
I have had a cracking years ‘old stoning’ but for me it has to be my visit to Newgrange. This is an iconic site and one I had wanted to visit for many years. It was quite surreal actually being there and despite the ‘restrictions’ (and weather!) I thought it was fantastic – particularly the ‘light show’ they do. I found the whole visit to be very well organised, the visitor centre excellent and all in all a fab day out.
