Although aware of cup and ring markings, carved by Neolithic
and Bronze Age peoples over 3000 years ago, I'd never actually found any until
I discovered geocaching. Since then I've visited several sites but never one
with such well-defined markings as those on a wild, lonely moorland in
Northumberland.
That it was a very foggy day when I trekked to Tod Crag, added
mystery to my adventure. Wrapped in a chilly blanket of freezing mist, I cautiously
made my way across rough ground with nothing other than the curlews and
skylarks for company, an eerie pilgrimage to a spiritual place.
