30/05/2016 – Is this my favourite cup and ring marked rock? I think it just might be. I love the way the markings seem to flow down the rock from the natural shapes and grooves on top.
Nobody knows, nobody cares if I’m lonesome.
Nobody cries, nobody sighs if I’m blue.
It seems that night after night
I sit alone and twiddle my thumbs.
But still I keep right on hoping, keep the door open
But nobody comes.
Old OS map (1866) has stone circles on the top. Anyone know anymore? Probably just the cairn?
05/05/2016 – I believe the large boulder on the right, towards the bottom is the one called Bob Pyle’s Studdie.
05/05/2016 – One of the four or five (I can’t remember which) large cairns that sit on the tops of Simonside.
08/05/2016 – Distant view of the circle from the track to the north. Even from here the circle was looking good with its possible outlier to the left.
08/05/2016 – One of a couple cairns, just either side of the high point of Gisborough Moor. The flattish top of the moor means the cairns stand out nicely against the big sky.
08/05/2015 – On a moor covered in cairns, these three are close together and worth a look on your way past. Easy to miss in the heather.
02/05/2015 – Kettley Crag’s place in the landscape. Top site. I made a little video (link below) – bit wonky. Don’t click if you plan to go as it’s better to see some sites with fresh eyes, I think :-) youtu.be/O1eiWMLBDv8
02/05/2016 – The size of this main panel really surprised me when I got there. So much to see. Magic.
