Thanks.

Was a video I did some time ago and met a gentleman who lives not far from the Peaks who kindly volunteered to talk on camera about his hobby.

I've been interested in ancient sites ever since, in truth. It's quite sad that most people have no clue they exist.

After all, they're like the modern day equivalent of churches or football grounds - but now they're lost in time.

I do find it quite ironic that what with today's interest in mother nature and such like with the environment - it's very much our distant ancestors who appear to have shown more respect to such things as we do (and only dream of) doing now.

Yes Geoff is quite well known on this forum although no longer a member unfortunately. There are still so many stone circles and probably as many at least now gone but we still fail to understand their meaning and purpose with any certainty. What was at one time commonplace (we assume) is now just lost in time and giving us today a fantastic hobby that costs little money aside from travelling expenses. And the real beauty for me is that you can share opinions and views on forums such as TMA and not made to feel inferior to other supposedly more qualified people or archaeos who. in reality, know and understand as little or us much as the rest of us.
