Our friend Paul Sanday is doing another talk in Newport about his claim that he has found "The Welsh Stonehenge" -- full coverage in the local press. Ah well, it's a free world, and I suppose his ideas are no wackier than many others featured in the Stonehenge debate over the years......

I think Paul is having a jolly time here, just seeing how much outrageous nonsense he can get a gullible public to accept as "scientifically" based. Not sure what this all does for the reputation of geology....... maybe that's a problem for geologists to address!
How much do we know about Stonehenge? Less than we think. And what has Stonehenge got to do with the Ice Age? More than we might think. This blog is mostly devoted to the problems of where the Stonehenge bluestones came from, and how they got from their source areas to the monument. Now and then I will muse on related Stonehenge topics which have an Ice Age dimension...

This is a complete "non item" or, am I missing the report by the paper...it tells me that he has found our Stonehenge, shows a picture of a dog sniffing a rock, and then leaves us to it. Is he going to elaborate. Or maybe take more water with it......
I suspect that the local paper just used whatever Paul sent to them! Not sure that they even have an editor any longer....... I think Paul is giving another talk in Newport next week -- for £8 you can go along and be enlightened!
