I got very excited when I heard about this in a previous thread, mostly because I got the month wrong and thought I'd be in the area when I wouldn't be! Would love to do the sunrise Hurlers walk but perhaps I'll get up there early next time I'm in Liskeard. Please report on how it all goes. Even Radio Cornwall are mentioning this event...
A video of yesterday’s excavation of the path is now available here.

According to the details beforehand, the area to be exposed is 6mx20m so much wider than the original excavation. As 'most' of the quartz paving will be in small blocks it is amazing to think that each one would have been last handled by a living person some 3,500-4,000 years ago if contemporary with the initial build. How cool is that!
