GLADMAN

Minimalist cairn... epic, windswept vibe...

Faban – u – lous!

Well worth a primary trip on its own.......

Nothing upon the map... so making it up as I went along

Big Cairn? You’re not wrong.

If one were to get lost between the moon and New York City, guess one could end up here, perhaps? Is that you, Arthur?

A greener shade of white, to be fair.

Which begs the question... so which one belongs to yer man Arthur?

Bit breezy, but so glad I postponed from last year since classic views are to be had here...

One for the connoisseurs…

Caer Maurice… or Caer Cadwgan. The choice is yours.

“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

Took a bit of reaching, but wondrous position

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,

Out of sight shouldn’t mean out of mind…

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.

If you decide to come check it out … see if you can find an easier approach!

A monument fit for a king? Nah, it’s much better than that.

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.

Seek and ye shall find, as they say

Sometimes you just can’t see the monument for the trees.........

Certainly a ‘long barrow’, to be fair

If the midges don’t get ya... the vibe will.

Not marked upon the map... and all the better for it

Tiptoe through the bluebells. No hang on, that’s not right. But it’ll do.

Didn’t think I’ll like it – but I did

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.

Summit cairns... and, well... see for yourself.

A masterclass in how to ascend Rhinog Fawr... and walk right past some rock art, oblivious...

The rather unexpected highlight of Gyrn Ddu’s monuments....

Yet another reason to go walkabout on The Rhinogs

Q: Why shouldn’t farmers be entrusted with our heritage? A: See Mynydd Llanaber

Under Idris’s legendary gaze...

The prodigal son returns...

A tale of two cists.....

Going walkabout in the obscure southern foothills of The Arans

Well, no one ever said a walk upon The Migneint was going to be easy....

An extended sojourn at the exquiste kerbed cairn/cairn circle of Ffridd Fron overlooking Cwm Bychan, deep within the heart of Y Rhinogydd.
