A friend emailed me to say Countrytracks on Sunday morning was set exclusively in Wiltshire. The first item has the presenter Helen Skelton climbing Silbury with Jim Leary (special permission granted).

Next, Tom Fort visits Stonehenge, much about the A303 plus a some black and white footage of the re-erection of stones in the 1950s - 23 stones were re-erected. I for one didn't realise it was that many. Tom Fort makes the point that this would probably not be acceptable today.

Filmed last summer so this may be a repeat. If it is, certainly worth seeing again.


Hi June,
I found it interesting that JL now sees the Swallowhead Springs and the R.Kennet as the reason Silbury was built there. I don't recall reading that in his book you were kind enough to loan me, did I miss it? Someone else had the temerity to suggest that also didn't they!! :-)
