There is no reason whatsoever why nobody else shouldn't do it Paul. I don't hold a copyright to making models :-)

No but it's only right because we're talking about it because of your book, i suppose it might be quite interesting for you to see if somebody who knows a bit like Geoff would end up at the same conclusion as you though Roy.

I don't. Look at it VERY, VERY carefully. I have an advantage over you as I can look at it closely all round and observe its shape. Look at its profile in Dymond's ground plan. That's all I'm saying but all will be revealed soon.

Great, that capstone looks a lot more balanced.

This thread is not about the book it's about the quoit being in danger, it's just morphed into the book now as most threads wander off the point and I've not helped in this case by keep offering titbits.

I know little about the quoit Paul, though looking at pics on google that front blocking stone looks un-natural there. Has anyone suggested or is it accepted etc that it was placed there later and the capstone raised to accommodate it ?
I really should have kept up with this thread. :)

It's done really well to stay on Trethevy hasn't it? I myself was talking about Zennor earlier, it didn't even cross my mind to start a new thread because it was still about quoits but to others it may be going off topic, peoples opinions are so different on everything, and there's that many rules/do's and don'ts in this forum to keep up with them all, I mean i got into trouble yesterday for saying ladies not woman but in lincolnshire the lasses are happy to be called Ladies but don't like woman so much, clearly to others it's the other way around, how are people supposed to know what will upset an individual, would you think the word Ladies could be insulting? because it isn't where i come from.

The place never feels right to me when i'm there and maybe Roys book will give me the answer i've wondered about since first thinking - that isn't right in 2002.
