A friend, her son and myself are going on a vitrified rock outcrop hunt tomorrow, inspired by GLP! Well, inspired by a thread on GLP, which was questioning the presence of these vitrified rock outcrops in Scotland which still have not been adequately explained, ie- nobody has explained what could have vitfrified these rocks or how/when. [ I think. lol] Anyway, I'm gonna take pics for sure and possibly video. I haven't chosen which site we're going to yet- my friend can't help with that part as her internet is down. Wish me luck.

Thank you, lbl! Of course, there's no guarantee I will be within driving distance of any outcrops and may not be able to buy enough petrol to get to one, so this may turn into a fossil hunt, or something completely different. lol

Ok, I've found a site which is relatively close at hand = doable. I've done this kind of thing before though, and I don't expect anything spectacular, so it's probably a good thing there are around other 40 sites of cultural interest in the surrounding area. Ranging from Pictish settlements, Pictish standing stones, to hill forts [possibly buried? *shrug*] etc. So, I'll probably come back with pictures of *something*! |
