Hi G and B,

I guess it's possible that my stone wasn't the right one, but it looked convincing. There are a lot of stones with this name in the area. Is it possible that Blonde's is a different one? I guess this is unlikely though.

There's loads of that going on in our area. The rivers and valleys seem to have been of special significance to the Bronze Age people of Ceredigion. The cairns in particular (Hirnant, Dolgamfa etc) are planted overlooking the Rheidol Gorge, but then there sites like Ysbytty Cynfyn that are just over the hill from the river (coincidence or part of a cunning plan?). I find it fascinating, but nobody else comes a'visiting round here.

Hallo Goffik and Kammer

I think that Kammer's Harold Stone is the same as mine - I just looked at all the pics we took there and that photo was chosen for the site cos the light was best - it does make it look different to the others. It has the same grid ref as the one that Kammer spotted, mostly cos i had a TMA printout that I took on holiday with us. So a big 'ta' to Kammer, it was your postings that helped me find a lot of the stuff we saw.

Goffik my dear I will wave the map under your nose and show you all these springs sometime. You and Mrs G would have loved it - we did spare you a thought several times as we enjoyed the squelchy feelings in our boots !!!! Still, the stones were well worth it...
