Just thought I would resurrect this topic. How is the road coming along?
I hear that a flint knife was found looking at the BBC red button regional news

The road is nearly complete. I drove up it a couple of days ago.
Three things are striking -
1. Dinedor Hill and the fields below it are really beautiful and the road cutting through it looks like major vandalism.
2. It looks so obvious, now it's built, that the road isn't needed, other than to enhance the value of an undevelopwd area and make some people very, very rich.
3. EH could have and should have saved the Ribbon, not facilitated it's loss.

I had an email on Friday about the houses being built at Bullington, but deleted it unfortunately, more in despair I think because the road over the Ribbon is so final and there's nothing to be done now.

Yes, looking at the road in place makes you realise that all the stuff from Hereford and EH about preserving it for future generations hundreds of years hence was just talk. It has effectively gone, and those who should have saved it have been talking oleaginous, platitudinous thieves' cant - like they have been at Stonehenge and both north and west of Avebury.
