You're preaching to the converted here. Quite a number of people from here went up there is summer... including me!

Glad to hear it! Did you go for the lunar standstill Jane? We went for the one on 4th of Sept. Believe it or not, it was cloudy (!) and so we got nary a glimpse of mistress Moon that night! Oh well, we'll just have to try again in 18.6 years!

I just can't wait to go again - I even managed to come to terms with the disturbing lack of pubs...

Cheers
Matt

Yeah we were there for the 11 July moon skim. It was a bit cloudy, but as we had the luxury of a whole week there, we had plenty of moon sightings when it wasn't cloudy. We could clearly see the stones from the house we rented so could nip up there often. I loved it. Everything. (Oh, except the constant gale force wind and the cold of course.)
I blogged about it here:

We were thinking about going again next year, but it depends how the money pans out and how amny paintings I sell - we're currently plotting a major tour of south west Africa... some serious rock art down there!
