There were a few spare seats and my dearest friend a man called Chris, who worked for Skoob, asked me if I’d like to go along. Our first port of call was Wayland’s Smithy … the quiet walk along the Ridgeway planted the first seed of my now great love for that ancient track-way. This always atmospheric place was the one that made the deepest impression on that day. Onto Avebury, and then WKLB … almost got run over on the A4 as thought it was a quiet country road. On the way back to London the driver was persuaded to do a detour stop at Stonehenge, so that was my first glimpse of Stonehenge too. It was just a pleasant day out from London; I had no idea at that time that I would leave London and be living just a few miles away from Avebury; or how much Avebury would become synonymous with some of life’s more recent memorable events … but that’s another chapter. june Reply | with quote |  10th August 2009ce 18:09 In reply to: When was the first time you visited Avebury?
