It was a long walk but it was worth it! This beautiful site looks rather ancient but it's actually a recent one erected on 2015 to commemorate the 450 year anniversary of Queen Elizabeth I granting the Fief of Sark to Helier De Carteret, Seigneur of St Ouen, on 6th August 1565 These stones are used to enclose or fence fields. But it can also be used to track sun or portals for love tokens. The site also overlooks the Derrible bay which is quite enchanting.

They look like what I had watched before. The witches tend to be in a circle and chant something.

I am just being weird today.

Nice trip you had there. I think you learn a lot in your travels. I wish I could do that too but it's just hard to travel nowadays with so much requirements to do before you are allowed to explore places.

I am in fact learning as I go. I would love to do this for a living but can't. You are right it is hard to complete travel requirements these days. Specially with my Filipino passport

@flapiz Yes but since you out there already you are much open to travel around than if you are here. Anyway my sister will be coming home after elections. Hope her homecoming goes smoothly for her.

@rsa101 Well I still hold a Filipino passport so still not good enough. I need two more years before I can abandon it.

Only the British can build new and make it look "ancient".

I like the image of the rocks in this image. I am amazed that was erected in 2015.

I was going to say that I didn't know there was such an ancient site on Sark - then I found there isn't! Nice place to visit though!

@flapiz No, I have never been. I only know a bit about it because a friend went to work there for a few years, quite a while ago now.

Lots of exercise for sure. I made at least 15,000 steps a day.
