I've added up all the sites I've visited this year (with cairn groups, standing stone pairs, etc counted as one), it makes 191 sites. 148 of these were sites I haven't visited previously, including 18 new stone circles and 15 new chambered cairns. So picking three is hard!
Best three walks were: (1) Y Mynydd Du in the snow in February; (2) Nantlle Ridge with Postman in April; (3) Big Moor with G/F in November.
Best three new sites:
1. Barbrook II stone circle, Derbyshire (November)
2. Bryn yr Hen Bobl chambered tomb, Ynys Mon (July)
3. Tre'r Ceiri hillfort, Gwynedd (May)
But that misses Dolebury, Tan y Muriau, Carn Fadrun, Coetan Cefn Amlwch, Garn Boduan, Yr Eifl, Bachwen, Moel Goedog, The Hurlers, Craddock Moor, Trewortha, Bryn yr Hen Bobl, Barclodiad y Gawres, Balbirnie, Lundin Links, Dalginross, Wester Cowden, Twenty Schilling Wood, Ferntower, Monzie, Braes of Fowlis, Gibbet Moor, Stanage cairn, Wet Withens, Barbrook I and III, Caer Caradoc, Gwern Einion, Craig y Dinas and Little Avebury, to name just a few.
I'm constantly amazed by how much great stuff there is still to see, it never ends.
