Day Three on the The Cambrian Way mountain trail 479 km (298 miles) with a total ascent of 22,460 m (73,700 ft). I think it could be Britain's hardest long distance trail. Its hard to say but looking at the map i think i started todays episode around the Mynydd Garnclochdy area i want give exact camping locations away. I was so wet from the rain all night i set about getting ready to walk around 4am just to keep warm. I was no risk at cold from the time of Year and in good health. So walked back up towards Mynydd Garnclochdy i think. The rain came back on top the hill. The rain was very bad so much so i could only see about couple of meters ahead what with the mist as well as the dark even with two powerful lights. By this time my cannon camera was destroyed by the weather i should know by now and my phone was useless take note people think phone navigation fine lucky i know this i used my garmin fenix3 gps watch with the track loaded onto so i knew i was heading in the general dir

The Callanish Stones are an arrangement of standing stones placed in a cruciform pattern with a central stone circle. These include at least three other circles, several arcs, alignments and single stones; many visible from the main site. just how old really is this? why was it built? How much has it been altered over time? What is thought is They were erected in the late Neolithic era, and were a focus for ritual activity during the Bronze Age. The existence of other monuments in the area implies that Callanish may have an active focus for prehistoric religious activity for at least 1500 years maybe. Between the central and the eastern monolith of the stone circle is a chambered tomb 6.4 metres long. This may have been built later than the stone circle and is squashed in between the eastern stones and the central monolith. The stones were covered by a thick layer of turf. It is estimated that the place was abandoned around 800 BC. Only in 1857 was the overlying 1.5 metres of peat removed under the orders of the proprietor of Lewis, James Matheson, revealing the chambered tomb and the true height of the stones. In 1885 the Callanish Stones were taken into state care.
