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.
|
There are - at least - some people in Surrey who give a damn.
|
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
|
Detail of rock art located just west of the wondrous upland lake Llyn Du is included within the GAT publication "SOME RECENT ROCK ART FROM NORTH-WEST WALES"

Under Idris's legendary gaze...
|
The prodigal son returns...
|
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.
|
A touch windy upon the Red Ridge of The Rhinogs. Try saying that after a night out with Jonathan Ross...
|
OK, everything's not rosy at this wondrously-sited hill fort opposite Snowdon; but that's not to say a visitor may not experience the odd technicolour moment....

Hi, I'm Robert ... with a passion for attempting to understand the lives of the pioneering prehistoric inhabitants of these British Isles, seeking out the remains they left behind in order to ask myself "why here ... why did it matter so... why such commitment?".. Needless to say, I'm still pondering such intangibles. Just as an empty house appears to retain echoes of past humanity... so does the stone circle, the chambered cairn, the long barrow and the mountain top funerary cairn. Visiting them, I think, helps engender a certain 'connection' with this land of ours, with ourselves - our past, our present and our future; a reference point for those of us perhaps struggling to make sense of this so-called 'computer world' Kraftwerk warned us was a'coming in 1981.... danke, mein herren.
In the unlikely event my posts provide inspiration for others to venture into the Great Outdoors, please bear in mind the hills and mountains of these Isles are unpredictable, potentially dangerous places. You are a fool if you do not suss out what you are letting yourself in for and ensure you have map/compass/waterproofs... and learn how to use them. Weather conditions can change bewilderingly quickly - even in high summer - so don't get caught out. Please engage with landowners wherever possible... being a cartoon 'class warrior' might be jolly good fun for the ignorant communist 'rebel'... but not for those who follow in their footsteps.

On the eternal board
Who’s never quite sure
What he’s moved towards
I walk blindly on'...
