Yup..plenty more in the area, unlisted on TMA or elsewhere. You just need to look at OS Explorer not Pathfinder. I would've done more but this was near a road and I wasn't and remain not a well bunny. Loads of pix to upload regardless when etech permits, ditto fieldnotes. With my marriage seemingly over I intend moving up and doing the lot, over time. A tip w h e n you go, sir: Kemps Graves, Glenhead of Aldouran..inland promontory fort. Canmore it. Now cleared of veg, it is, I promise, a cracker. Pix soon, I hope : ) spencer Posted by spencer

Nature does seem to put things into perspective... and least for a while. We all need a little natural therapy, my friend. GLADMAN Posted by GLADMAN

The world would be bloody dull if everyone went round being composed all the time, ( not that I think you weren't particularly). You've got a lot going on & it seems to me that you're looking to make major changes that I'm sure will be positive. Your devotion to your girls is lovely to behold & will be returned back to you over & over. What a grand dad. Your love for them & your passion for our brilliant history & the great outdoors will sustain you & lead to better times won't it. The light is slowly returning. All the best Spencer:) Posted by carol27
