Chapel Carn Brea v Carn Brea

[madzone]

It is exactly your kind of attitude that hardened opposition to any further music festivals on the Southern end of the penisula.

Apart from the 3 dayer that happened last weekend

Thank fuck it wasn't nearer your or no doubt you would've manufactured some excuse to complain about it and get it stopped. Sour twat.

.

Which was not going to cause any problems anyway.
No-one was worried about it in the slightest.
In the case of the other festivals we knew they were going to be seriously problematic well in advance, due to the people involved in the background.

True but my psychiatrist has them under control now.

I find myself in rare agreement with tobmaera about the management of the Lizard festivals.

 

[madzone]

I haven't commented on the management - dunno why people keep going on about it

I went to Chysauster, Boscawen & Carn Euny via Carn Brea & Grumbla yesterday. Much better doing these sort of things rather than doing other stuff which isn't related in location nevermind time.

I plan to do this a few times over...

so if anyone fancies coming along?


Obviously madzone won't, so it should be fun.

which isn't related in location nevermind time.

except, obviously, there are some absolutely fascinating facts that connect the two Carn Brea's with the Lizard...but then it's prolly not what "people" want to know or find out ...heyho.

I would of went to holifest but only found out it was on earlier today despite knowing people who played. For the record im a druken, drug taking, thieving, puppy killing scruffy scum bag who would single handedly have driven off emit invaders and bankrupted respectable businesses.

You'd think so wouldn't you? However, seeing as tobyjug spends an inordinate amount of time in other places protesting how he'd never come back here it surely can't be

Sorry, my mistake. Sounds so much like him though
Anyway, if it was tobyjug he'd have answered my question wouldn't he, because he'd never ignore a question!

OK, I'm not "people" and I'd love to know

I've got a piece I found within sight of Chapel Carn Brea

have a looksie at what you can find out about the settlement of Carn Brea, Redruth..most of the stuff I've learnt from books in the library...so no links per se.

I can get lost in here tho'... http://www.megalithic.co.uk/search.php?query=&topic=&country=1&category=&county=13&type=stories

That's one of my favourite sites along with http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/googleEarth/

Ta for the sites, both - suitably bookmarked.

I keep meaning to go up Carn Brea again - I love the way the castle sort of grows out of the rock, and I didn't go look at the neolithic remains when i was up there.

Eta: how come neolithic settlements aren't more appreciated in this country? They could clear all those bloody rocks out the way on Carn Brea and have a nice visitors' centre serving cups of tea and biscuits there.
