‘Talking fires’ link iron age hillforts
Oh, how I wanted to title this, "Scores of Welsh Volunteers Flash Each Other!" LOL!
A TEST to show how people in the Iron Age communicated using Welsh peaks was yesterday hailed a success.
Scores of volunteers flashed torches to each other from 10 hillforts in North Wales, the Wirral and Cheshire. The furthest link spanned 15 miles, between hills at Burton Point on the Wirral and Cheshires Maiden Castle.
The experiment was designed to see how easily Iron Age communities could interact from their hilltop homes thousands of years ago.
Hey, what can I say, SJ? I'm a Wild Child.
This still goes on today. Many's the time I've been out walking on the Welsh hills and semaphored down to the local pub to have a pint of lager and a packet of crisps waiting for me on the bar in about half an hour
