Welcome back Jane and Moth (you are back?). Hope you had a great time. The last entry in your blog (Killing to Conserve at http://www.janetomlinson.com/journal/index.php?id=267#cmt ) deserves wider publicity; along with the concerns we have for our cultural heritage, this sort of killing is yet another example of man's appalling greed and selfish stupidity. Sorry, needed to get that off my chest - normal service will resume as soon as possible.

Yes, we're back - though I wish we were still there :-( I *heart* Africa so much. Saw some splendid examples of San bushman rock art which I'll be blogging about fairly soon :-) There were some real surprises in the designs, too! Glad you like my blog LS, it's good to know someone reads it! Today South Africa confirmed that they are considering an elephant cull. Having seen the destruction and misery caused by too many elephants in not enough space I have some sympathy. I don't like it though. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/6404587.stm J x

This is being organized by Rob Roy www.bigstones.com and will comprise a 5 day Conference and workshop, the aim of which is to learn by discussion and actual experiments how our Neolithic ancestors were able to man-handle the massive megaliths found all over Northern Europe and elsewhere. Speakers will include, among others, Czech engineer Pavel Pavel (who worked with Thor Hyderthal on Easter Island), Rob Roy, Ivan McBeth www.ivanmcbeth.com, Doug Kerr, and myself www.stonehengetheanswer.com During the workshop we will be conducting several actual experiments with real stones. Accomodation is being provided by Plattsburg State Uni at $265 per person including food. Contact [email protected] Details of the conference and workshop can be found at www.bigstones.con click on workshops. Yes, but is there a pub close by? :-)

What about West (nothing in the east) Wales has some picnic places, to add to the general store of where to have a megameet, of course, everyone will have to camp..
