My sister Ady, my friend Susan and I joined Yvette Staelens on a singing walk from Triscombe stone to Hurley Beacon.  We sang at places on route and stopped off at a tree to tie on ribbons and wishes.   A great afternoon was had by all.

Someone mentioned a tradition of walking around the stone 3 times, then spitting on it and making a wish!

This man warned us he was about to let his dogs out.  There are more but they have run out of the picture.
