Putting one stone on top of another

[Julia9054]

I hope your skirt is not that short

My cyclist's legs are certainly a bit chunkier!

Not just those at Stonehenge, there are other bloody stone-circles, standing-stones etc. all over some counties....
As for the junk that was left in Old Mother Shipton's cave, it's a disgrace despoiling the area lkie that.

Oh and throwing coins in fountains, WTF is all that littering about????

If i ever find myself living rough ill go sit in a fountain !! Coin it in

From a BBC story -

Basically, balancing stones on top of each other has become a "thing" and people go to beaches and mountains to do it. Some environmentalists say this is spoiling the environment and complain that scenic spots are being ruined.

I don't see what the fuss is about as wind, rain and tide will surely return things to normal over time but what say CCers? Is this an annoying fad or harmless pastime? Are you an avid stone balancer? Have you ever had your trip to a scenic spot ruined by some pebbles?

“Leave nothing in your wake.”

Build your little tower, then take it down before you leave.

Don't you ever find yourself remembering Monty Python sketches to embed in your replies?

It has stuck in my mind over the years. I don't know why as it wasn't even funny first time round.

I don't do it on beaches, but I do it when decompressing from dives in quarries. It helps pass the time.
My regular dive buddy tends to just shake his head and let me get on with it.

Would Wainwright himself be as captivated, I wonder? It's not a natural environment any more is it?

It's a long time since I read a Wainwright, but my memory is that he was quite fond of cairns and other landscape interventions, and drew them quite regularly.

Reminds me of this, which I came across in the woods today...

Have to say it brightened my day rather than otherwise.

I built one on the beach the day before yesterday. It lasted five minutes before being destroyed by my barrage of stones. It vanished.

A couple who were wandering by while demolition was in progress did give me some dirty looks. You just can't win.
