Castlerigg Stone Circle
On Tuesday 30th May 2006, Gurgi and myself headed to Cumbria to visit Plainjane. Over the days that followed, we visited a few places of interest.
This ancient monument was built about the same time as other British Stone Circles between 2500 – 1300 BC during the Neolithic and Bronze Ages.
Although we found out later that we weren’t supposed to climb the stones, we couldnt resist.
We wondered why the stones were there in the 1st place and maybe the Druids of ancient times built them for us to climb on 4500 years later.
I was told off by a lady that insited the stones were 35000 years old and I swear she added an extra ’0′ just to make me feel guilty.
As members of The National Trust, we try to visit as many of these Ancient Monuments and places of interest as possible.
Many thanks again to Plainjane for taking us around Cumbria and looking after us and also keeping the Druid Hippie side of us alive and well.
