May 2012.
I paid another visit to the site known as Ballamish on Snaefell Mountain.
I wandered about with a notional GRID detector, scanning the area in the hope of finding the mythical grate – but to no avail.
I photographed a rusted cog in a futile attempt at creating a new legend ‘THE COG’ to numb the disappointment of yet another GRIDLESS venture.
A month later – back in Lincolnshire, UK.
A conversation between myself and friend R on the social networking site Facebook after I posted a series of pictures from my latest Grid visit.
Friend R: Is this the pivot you showed me?
Marc: ‘I don’t think that is the cog in question. Although I’m now a little uncertain that I went to the correct cottage. If you google ‘Ballamish’ there are some photo’s that look similar to mine. I also found this info below (possibly on Flickr) that may be pointing in the right direction.’
Friend R: ‘Some gridhunter you are… The grid is at Ballaskella, not Ballamish! Remember we went to the manx museum that time? I just checked and the google earth images you have been using are of (Fig B) Ballamish… Back to the drawing board for you mate lol! This is (Fig A) Ballaskella from above…
Summary.
On the latest GRID pilgrimage to my homeland on the Isle of Man. Not only
did I fail to locate the said artefact; it would also appear that I went to the
incorrect location…the wrong side of the mountain.
