You looked it up on here and saw how crap the instructions were but then travelled all that way anyway? Honestly, the fieldnotes and photos do make it very clear (I worry too clear). I'd be pissed off too if I'd come all that way and barely found it, and I'm sorry you wore yourself out - but don't blame the information on here for your disappointment because there's plenty, surely you have to admit that now you look at the photos (did you print them off and take them with you?)

People were visiting it before all these photos were posted on the internet you know.. and they didn't have 20 figure grid references. And you know TMA hasn't got a legal obligation to provide the public with reliable information??!

Sorry for being grumpy, but not all sites are as signposted as others and surely it's better that way? Most sites on tma have no instructions about getting to them at all.. isn't part of the fun in actually finding them yourself?

Its fun to find the site yourself if you have loads of free time, some people with a real interest in seeing the stone dont have that luxury rhiannon.
I dont blame the tma for having crappy directions, i was just stating a fact.
goffik. yes i had pete and steve show me around lots of the sites but it was sunday lunch time when i decided to go hunt for it.

I see - shame - but good that you found it! It's great, isn't it? Did you see the holed triangular standing stone nearby?

I bet you got to see a lot of great stuff with Pete as a guide - he really knows the area well. (I don't think I know Steve - or at least haven't met him face to face yet)

Shame you couldn't have made it down next weekend for the Megameet - there's a whole buncha people turning up with a HUGE collective knowledge of Avebury - and tons more besides!

Maybe next year, eh? They're always good fun. :)
