I popped up to Derbyshire this weekend with my friend Geoff. The weather was perfect - even up on the moors. We managed to visit a couple of stone circles while we were there. Firstly, Arbor Low, the 'stonehenge of the north' and then over to Nine Ladies on Stanton Moor.
Arbor Low was as magnificant as ever and I'm pleased to say that Nine Ladies was looking good too. At times I've found Nine Ladies looking quite shabby, with rubbish scattered nearby and signs of fires having been lit in the circle itself. After 4,000 years I think it deserves a bit more respect than that!
