I had two trips for this equinox. My aim was to investigate the leyline (source: Ley Lines Across The Midlands by Anthony Poulton-Smith) which runs between Burrough Hill and Bardon Hill. Burrough Hill On Sunday 22nd, Raye and myself went to Burrough Hill in Leicestershire. This was an early Iron-Age site inhabited firstly by the "Coritavi" tribe and then the Romans with evidence they lived together for a while. This was a huge square site on top of the hill. My rods followead the outer embankment and crossed throughout the inner. The trig point had a sun dial showing the exact location of Bardon Hill. I climbed onto it and had a fantastic view. I could see the trees lining the leyline towards the hill.         Bardon Hill On Wednesday 25th, James and myself went to Bardon Hill, the highest point in Leicestershire. This was probably an Iron-Age fort but extensive quarrying has eroded evidence. We trekked up the hill through the trees and up to the mass...

Ribadumia, Pontevedra Having stayed at home for the summer solstice (see St John's Day the year before for an idea of what we did!), we decided to make a day of it for the equinox. We headed out to Ribadumia and had a walk through a forest to have a picnic. After walking along a river to a natural pool and dipping our toes, we headed back to the car and out to a castro nearby. Despite the amazing weather and thousands of people around the picnic area, the castro was completely deserted.  Parking, we could see that some building works were under way for a visitors centre. We headed up the hill and had to sneak through some fencing to get a look at the castro. It's all sectioned off at the moment because they are painstakingly piecing it back together and laying down a bed of white stone to keep it from overgrowing again. Looking at the work already completed (see picture), we could tell that once completed, this is going to be one of the biggest castros in the area (...
