Questionnaire

• Age:
50's

• Sex:
When I can, though I don't see the relevance

• Ethnic background:
English (ie a general mix of most European races)

• Was the walk up to the stone circle…
• hard,
Bloody hard! But then this was in 2002, with thick fog, and I'd taken the route up from the demonstrator's camp after a very heavy downpour, without a map. Possibly the most difficult approach given the route and conditions that it's possible to make, ever!

• What was your immediate reaction upon reaching the stone circle?
Thank gawd!
Also pretty pissed off at the time as some demonstrators were not exactly 'respecting' the circle at that time - much evidence of partying remained, lots of litter.

• Was there anything you feel your couldn’t see as it was blocked?
I had no sense of 'setting', as the mist enveloped everything around.

• Did the monument make you feel emotionally different in a particular way? E.g. scared, small, insignificant, made you want to alter the volume of your voice?
The ambience at that time was 'unusual'. I just wanted to get back to the dry car.

Cheers!
A.
