sorry for the late reply, Fitz, been rather busy and I still have to finish reading this whole thread!

"This of practice of having two established campsites evolved with pastoralism with the herders taking their animals between summer and winter pastures and is still practiced in some parts of these islands - although the advent of the infernal combustion engine means that the shepherd can now commute between the high pastures and his farmhouse."

I totally agree, this way of life is so vital in some parts of Europe STILL nowadays (or until recently). The pastoralists still in basic opposition to the settlers, to urban life.

Not sure whether you will see this but I would be pleased to know what specific parts of the UK you were talking about before.

Cheers
