1612
Had a ride over to Pendle Hill on Saturday to check out the giant '1612' celebrating the quadricentennial of the witch trials.
It's pretty big!!

Re: 1612
Excellent photo's Boo 
excellent story too! One witch (it's usually women int it!) is described as an old woman of 4 score years, 50 years as a witch. !!!
Is the '1612' cut into chalk? ................. If you take a route from Lentwardine to Rhayader, you may have noticed a '1953' on a hillside, it's brown Larch against a background of something like Douglas Fir.

Re: 1612
I thought from a distance it was maybe cut into the peat and limed (no chalk round here - it's all millstone grit) ..but when I got close it's actually made from polythene sheet, rolled up and pegged to the ground. Very temporary!
I've always come the Newtown way to Rhayader, and that, the Aberystwyth or Devil's Bridge way out, so never seen the 1953.

Hope you're OK Steve.. Easy to end up with broken bits (of human) at 0mph! Apparently the '1' has blown away, so it just says '612' today.
