After lunch, Mark Edmonds gave a wonderful talk entitled ‘The Neolithic in the Central Fells’, I have seen Mark speak on a couple of occasions, he is always good value for money his knowledge, passion and laid back delivery are always wonderful. His talk was excellent and focused on the axe production sites and how they may have been perceived and used.
After Coffee Helen Loney gave a lecture on ‘Towards a European perspective on the Cumbrian Bronze Age’ the best thing I can say about her lecture was that it was like wading through treacle. Definitely a case of wrong place, wrong time for Helen. That apart, a lovely day.
Yes yes yes Mark was wonderful! How inspiring. I'd gladly sit through a whole day of him. Also enjoyed fondling those huge stone axes.After Coffee Helen Loney gave a lecture on ‘Towards a European perspective on the Cumbrian Bronze Age’ the best thing I can say about her lecture was that it was like wading through treacle.

Helen Loney on the other hand.... if she'd had been the first speaker I'd have headed for the hills too. It's a real shame really because I'm sure she must have had something interesting to say, but I'm fucked if I got any of it (but at least she knew how to pronounce Cumbria)
Gah, I missed out on an axe-fondling? Bugger
