oh aye, don't get me wrong :o) If it weren't for Burl I think just about 
every stonehunter and megalithic website would not have had the start 
they have had. I'm not dissing the Godfather of Stone Hunting, I suppose 
you could call him. With a work of any reasonable hugeness, errors 
become more likely - and if in fact a site *is* there when it was said 
it isn't, all the better. When minimal effort is required to check, I'm 
all for taking a look in person.

There's only one thing better than having multiple browsers and maps 
open, highlighters, GPS data, and guidebooks around your feet, and 
that's being *out there* employing all the preparation.

Excitedly,

Tim.
