Kermario 

(I will get some better photos which show more of the stones later on...)

.I had the pleasure of wandering among the stones in 1992, but not in 1998 when they were fenced off

A spot of local bother on the 1st September 2002 offered a second opportunity to acquaint myself with these massive menhirs, most of which stand man-size or more. There was a whole bunch of guys there and obviously some fuss, allegedly because of the compulsory purchase of land . I didn't really follow all the ins and out, but since there was a guy with a key who had opened the gate a waved a coachload of people through who were being given a guided tour I figured I'd go through too.

trouble in menhirland - I can feel the words to a song coming on...

What was a lot clearer this time was the allée-couverte of Kermario, which had always been obscured by the timber viewing platform of old.
