>> I am new to the TMA.

And may we make you feel most welcome. I'm not sure we have any 9 Ladies locals here (Do we?) and it's great to have someone in that area. (I've probably put my foot in it now ... we probably do have someone from around there and they're gonna pissed off that I forgot! .. sorry)

Awesome parties are great! Sacred sites are greater still. Awesome parties in sacred sites is a fucking (forgive me) stupid idea.

Nice little gatherings, where everything is relaxed is cool, but encouraging a situation where people are twisted beyond recognition and reason is not big and it's not clever.

Many of us are repeatedly dismayed at finding a single tea-candle or lump of wax at a site. The devastation that seems to have been reaped upon Stanton Moor would give me a coronary on the spot I think.

I remember the 9 Ladies when the wall was there, in fact I never saw them without the wall. Even then it's one of my fondest memories. I don't think I shall ever go back now.

Thanks for the welcome.
Yes it's a pity people dont stick to the 'take nothing but photos leave nothing but footprints'.
i agree about gatherings at these places just a few friends and a bright clear night is whats needed. A shame you would not want to come back and see it but very understandable at its present state...it makes you wanna pick up a big stick....'cept they've all been used for the fires!!
And yes fingers crossed for Doll Tor although it can get badly littered at times, (one of my faves along with Nine Stone Close).
I look forward to keeping the Derbyshire end up!
