GLADMAN
Should you go, I reckon it’s pretty much odds on you’ll leave a fan of Fan, so to speak...
Searching – unsuccessfully, I might add – for the cairn cited by GAT as existing at SH65141153, I decided to mask my disappointment (and then some!) by carrying on to revisit the great Twll yr Ogof. Rude not to.
A very obscure Bronze Age cairn between Bwlch-y-Groes and Llyn Efyrnwy, east of the mighty Arans.
Come with me, into the trees… yeah, find ‘em if you can.
Easily by-passed. I’d recommend that, given the opportunity, members tarry awhile...
If one were to get lost between the moon and New York City, guess one could end up here, perhaps? Is that you, Arthur?
Bit breezy, but so glad I postponed from last year since classic views are to be had here...
“I’ll catch a rainbow from the sky, and tie the ends together” …
A shufti at Cerrig Cynant Stone Circle, moving on to the northern of the two Bryn Poeth Uchaf Ring Cairns

Ridiculed by many.... But not by I. Nor, I would assume, by those that have walked these heights...
For me, guitar playing at its very finest.
A reminder to always check out the summit of even the lower Welsh hills... you never know,
So what do you call a hill topped by a large cairn/barrow? How about Cairn/Barrow? That’ll do.
Just goes to show you never know what’s up there, do you?
The transmitter station is offputting, granted. But then the cairns were here first.........
If you happen to be passing… use your loaf: there’s a hill fort up there. No, really.
Boy did they try... but they couldn’t destroy the ‘sense of place’ of this one....
Pretty ironic that perhaps the largest monument in the area is the one no one can see… or almost no one.
Millpond Wood, Wildernesse
Tiptoe through the bluebells. No hang on, that’s not right. But it’ll do.
Long Hill
Recommended should one perhaps fancy a respite from this ‘brave new world’...
Not many Wombles up here on Frensham Common... but plenty of wombats. Nevertheless, four impressive round barrows, together with some nice views.
Sadly the landowner would appear not to believe Surrey’s heritage should be shared and celebrated. Whatever.
Rhinog Fawr, Gwynedd - summit cairn(s) - Part 2
Summit cairns... and, well... see for yourself.
Rhinog Fawr via Bwlch Tyddiad, Gwynedd - Part 1
A masterclass in how to ascend Rhinog Fawr... and walk right past some rock art, oblivious...
