I made this: Rock Balancing

Inspired by my earlier blog post I had a go at Rock Balancing last weekend whilst staying near Llanidloes in Wales. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and wanted the share the results below.

My first attempts above were made on a stony beach next to a river.

My second attempts were made later that afternoon, this time using slate pieces. Apart from a habit of cracking in half whenever the stacks fell the slate proved to be good building material and I managed to get them balanced up to a half-metre high.

hey Gareth these are pretty impressive! did you leave them up for fellow wanderers to discover or have a big cathartic knock down before you left? (should i keep an eye out on the papers for 'dog squashed by mystery rock tower' headlines?!)

No, unfortunately they were all knocked down before I left. :-(

I will have to have another go sometime and leave them standing. I do rather like that headline. :-)
