Stonehenge & Bath Day Trip

I went to a day trip organized by University Of Glamorgan to Stonehenge and Bath. Here are some details about Stonehenge:
Stonehenge: Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in the English county of Wiltshire, about 3.2 kilometres (2.0 mi) west of Amesbury and 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) north of Salisbury. One of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world, Stonehenge is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones. Archaeologists had believed that the iconic stone monument was erected around 2500 BC, as described in the chronology below. However one recent theory has suggested that the first stones were not erected until 2400-2200 BC,[1] whilst another suggests that bluestones may have been erected at the site as early as 3000 BC (see phase 1 below). The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. The site and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986 in a co-listing with Avebury henge monument, and it is also a legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument. Stonehenge itself is owned by the Crown and managed by English Heritage while the surrounding land is owned by the National Trust.
New archaeological evidence found by the Stonehenge Riverside Project indicates that Stonehenge served as a burial ground from its earliest beginnings. The dating of cremated remains found that burials took place as early as 3000 B.C, when the first ditches were being built around the monument. Burials continued at Stonehenge for at least another 500 years when the giant stones which mark the landmark were put up.
According to Professor Mike Parker Pearson, head of Stonehenge Riverside Project:"Stonehenge was a place of burial from its beginning to its zenith in the mid third millennium B.C. The cremation burial dating to Stonehenge's sarsen stones phase is likely just one of many from this later period of the monument's use and demonstrates that it was still very much a domain of the dead."

Pontypridd

Pontypridd, satu pekan kecil yang berhampiran dengan Universiti of Glamorgan. Kalau jalan kaki dalam 1.5km. Naik train tak sampai 3 minit dah sampai. Pekan ni kecil sahaja. Tapi kira boleh beli barang-barang keperluan asas.
Saya jalan kaki ke Pontypridd. Sebelah kiri tu Stesen Pontypridd.

Pemandangan pekan Pontypridd dari stesen.


Jalan utama.


Saya saja bergambar depan kedai roti. Kebetulan tengah lapar tapi masih di bulan Ramadhan.


Lagi pemandangan Pontypridd.


Bangunan yang bercat hitam tu Bank HSBC.

ICAT Barry

International Centre for Aerospace Training (ICAT) Barry adalah institut yang mendapat pengesahan oleh CAA untuk menjalankan kelas & mengambil peperikasaan untuk EASA Part 66 License. Di sinilah kelas, bengkel & tempat mengambil peperiksaan saya.
Tempat ini lebih kecil dari UniKL MIAT & saya rasa kemudahan dan peralatan di MIAT adalah lebih baik. Bak kata pepatah, "Hujan Emas Di Negeri Orang, Hujan Batu Di Negeri Sendiri. Lebih Baik Di negeri Sendiri!"
Cardiff International Airport - hanya di sebelah ICAT Barry
