Paulus mi luv, darling etc etc, Ilkley Moor is burning north east of rivock plantation, just off the summit to the N. It's kinda directly south of swastika & pipers crag stone. I've checked the maps in PRAoWR & don't think there'll be many, if any known carvings in the midst of yon fire. By all accounts, unless it precipitates copious amounts soon, the fires predicted to burn for at least 3 or 4 more days.

PS. your inbox is full, delete some porn & I'll send you a pic through of the moor burning & you'll be able to see the area in question!!

"don't think there'll be many, if any known carvings in the midst of yon fire."

but maybe a few "new" ones

The Fire Brigade will accept properly dressed volunteers to help beat the edges of the fire. It needs a strong heart and lungs but is an unforgettable experience.

I've never seen it as dry as this - crows feeding well on the bodies of fallen stock. There's heavy rain forecast for the west, tomorrow, but it could just as easily wizz past, like it did last night. Buried stones are at their easiest to spot now as the turf above them is dead and easy to pull away.

Cooeeee!

Let's gerrup there and see if we can find some new items. How does Wednesday sound to you? Aswell as that, I'm told there's been another decent moorland fire on the moors this side o' town, in an area apparently empty of archaeological remains. Let's get our walking shoes on!

That'd explain a thing or 2. It's been f**cked-up for sometime now and I'm starting to use another one. New email address is [email protected]

As Chris says "how the stones on the moor would have looked when their cups, rings and ladders were first pecked out."
