Bradnorman Group: Members Posts: 142 Joined: Oct. 2011 Posted: Oct. 28 2011, 13:30 Hi there. Thank you for your welcome. I live about 100 km from Bradnor Hill and Hergest Ridge. I really love it there, and as a keen hill walker, I go there as often as I can. The scenery and the views are really beautiful, as you know, and add to that, Mike's association with the area, and it makes for a truly magical place for me. Unfortunately I haven't been since February/March of this year, but hope to return soon. Did you enjoy your visit in September?       -------------- ‘Is my team ploughing,    'That I was used to drive   And hear the harness jingle    When I was man alive?' Life is arbitrary Back to top

yanouch65 Group: Members Posts: 680 Joined: Feb. 2006 Posted: Oct. 28 2011, 16:12 Yes,  I did. Really a great experience! Beautiful area, nice people, gorgeous weather, etc... Not a lot of people know that, but the photos showing Mike sat on a hill with his models is not Hergest Ridge, but Bradnor Hill. Hergest Ridge is in the background...behind him. I know that, because I have been there with The Beacon's owner... -------------- Ray said : "it is a shame you don't play" manintherain said: "You´d better ask Mr. Y who was first" yanouch65 says: "I am in love with Scotland" Back to top

Can't wait to go back,had a great time when I was there last year...hope that I can write part of my PhD thesis(or any related work) in such an inspiring place in the near future! -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top

Bradnorman Group: Members Posts: 142 Joined: Oct. 2011 Posted: Oct. 29 2011, 14:57 Yes you're right about that. It's strange to think that Mike  found The Beacon just by chance. That was quite an act of fate! -------------- ‘Is my team ploughing,    'That I was used to drive   And hear the harness jingle    When I was man alive?' Life is arbitrary Back to top
