Getting high with ancient stones

A stimulating outing on a mild mid-January day

This week I have been playing around and experimenting with a video post. After this I will be back to normal written posts, illustrated with photos (and possibly the occasional video clip).

For the background to this video and how I produced it, please see last Saturday’s post. My apologies for the wind noise, which becomes more obvious at higher elevations. I recorded the sound without using an external, shielded microphone, because I created the video on the spur of the moment using my iPhone, .

In my next post I will explore the history of the places that appear in the video, the people who have inhabited them and changes in land use over the centuries.

Thank you for you patience while I tried out a different type of post. Please do let me know what you think. See below for details of the walk.
