Lame Ass EH druid @ Silbury
Aug 02, 2004, 15:46
Sunday 2nd August 2004 was the third time that self proclaimed druid Terry Dobney obtained a key for the gate at silbury and scrambled up the hill, on all fours at some points, to get to the top.

Dobney was given the key by Ancient Monuments site inspector Amanda Chadburn.
Before he got to the top passers by were climbing over the fence and racing to the top to see what was going on.

An amercian family out viewing the cropcircles in the area also jumped the fence.
During the hour that Dobney walked around the top of the hill posing the passing traffic was slowing down and swerving dangerously all over the road.
As Dobney left around 12:30 other visiters from the cropcircle circus nearby invaded the hill for the afternoon.
By midnight there was a fully established crop watch on top the hill.
Well done EH! This sort of behaviour will damage the hill quicker than just leaving the ancient mound to crumble on its own.
HA will issue a vague press release as some point...
