I think the best way to avoid confusion is by having it clearly flagged up with those who record these things (hence posting it here as a part of that). A couple of times in the past decade, I've had to accompany the CA and a fella who'd found some CnR like motifs in North Tyneside, and even after the CA told them these were accounted for as modern, they didn't believe it until taken and shown how it'd been done.


That explanation will do for me Hob, like I said ... no offence intended. I didn't know Jan but he came across as a man without ego issues, who in his latter years was dedicated to the furtherance of rock art awareness.

I came across this Australian Aborginal proverb earlier this evening ... perhaps a memorial for each of us, however ordinary or extraordinary ....

"We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love ... and then we return Home"

All the best
