Having captured yesterday's shot I walked out along the jetty to get a different angle on the fishing boats - a tighter framing.

Look closely and you can see our camp pretty much centered side to side and just below the horizon. This view is almost certainly to the south-east, the mountains in the distance being in Lesotho. Most of our camps lasted less than a month before we were off again, nomads in Toyota Hiluxes.

So the Four Barrows are on the ridge that separates Aldbourne Warren from North Farm. In this photo you can only see three of them, the fourth is hidden behind the stand of trees on the hillside.
