Hi treehugger

< the Queen of the Fairies chair but the directions seem to plot it well and truly in Yorkshire is that the right grid ref? >

I seem to be making a habit of mistaken grid-refs! I don't actually have the OS-map for this site, so the grid-ref was a bittova "near miss" on my behalf. If you've got the exact one, send it & I'll amend the site details.

I look forward to seeing your pikkies of the Fourstones. Did y' get any of the cup-markings on it? I was curiously lucky to visit this site when I was hitch-hiking last autumn, when this bloke drove me up to the place (in one helluva down-pour!) but I didn't have a camera. Harry Speight & another old writer (T.D. Whitaker perhaps) told there to be a few other stones & outcrops along the Yorks/Lancs border here with more than a bit of heathen history. Seems like there was summat going off in this small region that we've all forgotten about. Does anybody know owt more?

I've altered the grid reference to SD - have assumed the numbers are correct?

TMA Ed.

buggar!

i went to the site today with the new grid refs and still couldnt find it!

i did find plenty of cow poo tho :)

>i've also got a couple more sites on the Lancs/yorkshire border that you might be intrested >in, which i'll add as soon as ive photographed them this week.

Aye oop Paul,

talking of Lancs/York boarder sites, do you know of the 'Pots & Pans Stone' on Saddleworth Moor... just by Alderman's Brow. Amazing big chunk of stone with a simulcreum of and old face if you look at it from a certain angle. Also, lots of (probably natural) cup marks on the upper surface. Lovely views over towards Oldham way n' other interesting rock outcrops too.
