It’s not only educational but fascinating as well. You have to actually see these artefacts in the raw to truly appreciate them - a picture of an old Saxon sword is just that - a picture - but look at the real thing and you cannot but imagine the arm that wielded it, the damage it did, where it’s life took it - marvellous !

If was was stoood in Sainsbury's Car Park I wouldn't be thinking about people buried, who has been here before, ancient rites etc. <i>Don’t worry you won’t fall off, the world is spherical</i> I'll have to review my membership of The Flat Earth Society then :) Cheers Rod WoE

These historic sites are all around us if we care to look...... did you pick up any vibes from the Barrow? Some Coven members spent time at the coast, something we haven't done for years. We had a splendid afternoon arriving as the swarm of day trippers were leaving... perfect timing if a little on the windy side, still you can't have everything and the sea breeze certainly felt bracing though our modern day arctic fleeces. It is well documented now that the area covered by the north sea between Britain and the continent, was once the fertile dwelling place of stone age man.... they still find evidence under the waves. There are such things as cycling holidays Rod....it's possible to even venture outside the county. Don't worry you won't fall off, the world is spherical and something a bit like cosmic velcro keeps our feet and wheels firmly planted... something of a challenge on a bike but one you might enjoy :) WoE Rod,

Great post. These historic sites are all around us if we care to look…… did you pick up any vibes from the Barrow? Some Coven members spent time at the coast, something we haven’t done for years.

There are such things as cycling holidays Rod….it’s possible to even venture outside the county. Don’t worry you won’t fall off, the world is spherical and something a bit like cosmic velcro keeps our feet and wheels firmly planted… something of a challenge on a bike but one you might enjoy :)
