They line up & point directly to the 'Devil's Arrows' which are three amazing standing stones right next to the A1 in Boroughbridge.I'm not TOO into all this stuff about alignment, ley-lines & so on... But when you standing on those henges by Masham & looking at the next one across the fields through the snow was a pretty powerful experience. I don't suppose anyone will ever know what they were really built for, but, BY GOD, they must have been built for something!

Obviously they were a test bed to model the alignment of the Mechanics Insitiute the Civic Hall and the proposed Orb. They just weren't sure of the scale and how much Egyptian symbolism they wanted to use, so decided to wait a few millenia to think about it.

Happy Burpsbay SL and a couple of Riggwelters too! I'll drink to that (in Tenerife at the mo) with a pint of Estella at 1.30 euro! 75f here today! Cheers to all at SL! Can't match Estrella with Black sheep but it's cheap and it 's nearly as cold as your weather!LOL

Deary me, this almost slipped by me despite a prominent reminder - 5 years old today! Seen a few changes but still going as a place new people continue to arrive at and contribute to, learning about some of the things many may not know about our City.Happy birthday and here's to many more
