Well, that’s me just broken 900 miles of my clearly bonkers self-challenge
of running 1000 miles for the year.

Now that it looks that I might actually complete it, I
thought I would try and raise some funds for Clyne Heritage Society’s planned 2023
community archaeological excavation of up to three Bronze/Iron Age roundhouses at
Aultcraggie, West Clyne.

The fantastic total of 42 volunteers, many with little or no
digging experience, came along and spent 142-person days at our Strath Brora
dig in June this year.  Without
exception, everyone had a great time, learned new skills and made new
friends. 

The total cost of next year’s fieldwork for 12 days is £9,936,
with a further estimated £9,234 needed for post-excavation analysis of any
finds we make.  We engage the services of
a professional archaeology company who plan, organise, direct and supply all
the required equipment.  And this quote
is actually cheap, believe it or not and it will give plenty of people
(including youngsters), who have now developed a thirst for archaeology,
another opportunity to join in.

Anything we raise by our own funding, such as this, shows
external funders that there is goodwill in the community for this to go ahead,
so it would be fantastic if you would consider sponsoring me.  Anything would make a difference!

Would also be grateful if you would share this to all your
friends too.

Thank you.
