Hi June,

Another excellent thread in the making. Not relevant to Silbury, but I added this site and notes fairly recently:

Alken

Relevant to the Thames though. I think what was being suggested is that the Thames has a western source (somewhere around Cricklade) and a southern source - the Winterbourne/Kennet; which may have been marked by Silbury, who really knows.

As it happens I am just watching How Earth Made Us on BBC2 which is about ... rivers (some fabulous rock art in the Sahara as well).

G/F is watching that too, while I sit in front of the escapist nonsense that is Survivors. I think she wins the intelligent TV prize.

One day I must get round to walking the Thames path (which starts at Trewsbury).

Great series! If you liked the Sahara rockart, you might like some Namibian rockart that Jane & I saw a cuppla years ago http://www.flickr.com/photos/71451816@N00/sets/72157602522359626/ if you've not seen it before.
