It's very sad and, perhaps, the group apathy is worse. There's at least half a dozen contributors within striking distance of the sites and they can be bothered to go hundreds of miles to photograph carved rocks but not to travel fifty miles to help me bring these amazing and new places to the public's attention and care.
OK, I'll bite.
Play fair now Davey,
Numerous folk who post here have offered to help you, the stumbling block has always been your reluctance to attend in person.

No - that's untrue. If you have a map reference you don't need a person. My mobility is limited - I'm on foot - and when I'm in the country my time is almost entirely taken up by my wall when it's fine, and sheltering when it's wet. It's off topic but my gross carbon footprint is one and threequarter tonnes of CO2 a year. (It's not bad - the Chinese average is 3t. - and I capture some of that as new peat as well).

It's moving now - there's people starting to look at the stuff. I'm not bitter, just cross at all the time spent typing the same stuff over and over again, when I could have been at the pictures with Julie W. or rebuilding another Bolex camera or something ...

But - anyway - which of the SW Northumberland sites do you want to investigate - ring cairns, circle + 4-poster, long cairn, big earthwork or the copper mine? One per person. I've just 'assigned' one to Hob, knowing he'll not get there, and knowing it's got Rock Art. (He's got the tailed-cairn and 'observatory').
