Megalithic Mumblings

occasional random thoughts, diary entries and anything else I deem worthy of inclusion, such as accounts of my erstwhile forays amongst the ancient sites of Britain. Several of the posts here first appeared on the Modern Antiquarian or Heritage Action web sites.

Conference day

An early breakfast saw us ready for the Conference opening at 9am. It was time for some retail therapy, and I bought a wonderful Archer's Sword for just £30. The first couple of talks were quite entertaining, but by lunch we were ready to hit the road for a short break, so we popped down to Bude for a snack. Refreshed, we set out for a short tour of some local churches at Poundstock, Marhamchurch and Launcells Barton, the first and third of which had Holy Wells close by. Then it was straight back to the Conference for the last talk of the day. Having taken photos of all the speakers during the day, once the conference had closed I handed over what I'd taken to one of the organisers.

Another evening meal, slightly late due to the increased numbers, led to an entertaining evening discussion.
