Thanks for the kind words Kammer. Some of the scans could be better & some of the photos could too!! I've tried to only post the dodgy ones for sites that are under-represented.

I've nearly finished with the scanner though the owner says I can borrow it anytime. I hope to get my own before too long & may re-do some of the ones I've posted if I can get them any better.

On the 'nocturnal thing', I only go out in the day if I'm taking photos!!!! BTW, I don't suppose I'm alone in missing you 'round here - not for your sense of humour though...! :^)

I <I>don't think</I> Wigglybitty Sinbin is a circle either. The big stone's in its original position I'd have thought, and the stones (for the gateposts in particular?) may come from summat genuinely megalithic, but beyond that...could be owt.

But then the sheer size of the big 'un's a bit of an anomaly for the area isn't it? As you say, very perplexing - but kinda all the more interesting for it!

I certainly reckon the 'mega' style stones have been added for effect/mystique reasons - maybe still as a christianisation thang though....

And incidentally, I very much like your neck of the woods. Been a while since I was over that way.

I think the coastal/hills area from around Barmouth up past Harlech to Porthmadog is my fave area in Wales so far. Need to get down to the Lleyn peninsula sometime & to spend some time up around the north coast....

Get less busy soon so you can come & talk bollocks with us!!!!

love

Agreed. We miss you, K x. Family OK? How's that lovely Alfie lad?

Very good. You should add it as an alternative site name.

It certainly is. There are some big stones about (Buwch a'r Llo, Carreg Wen) but none as tall as the Ysbytty Cynfyn monolith. There aren't any big stone circles around here either, and those sites that might be stone circles (like Cylch Derwyddol) are strange and ambiguous. I think the stone circle theory is way out.

That's Gog country that is! Watch your back.

I plan to. I've got a hefty backlog of material to post up, so once I've got some time I'll get back to it.

Cheers,
