Winter Solstice 2007
Bartlow Hills, Cambridge
Back in the UK again, this time we'd arrived at Stansted, so we stopped off at the picturesque village of Saffron Walden (and got lost - reviving old traditions!!) and later managed to find the twin burial mounds in the tiny village of Bartlow Hills. It was getting dark when we arrived - we were too late to see the sunset, but we managed to find the mounds, one of which has stairs up to the top. They look quite small from the ground, and in twilight, but once you've got to the top, you realise that they're enormous. There were more here at one time, but now there's just the two, and we tried to use Dad's pocket compass to figure out if they were alligned, but everywhere we stood on the top gave us a different reading! Very charged electromagnetically, we decided.
