...and what were your first impressions?

Nigel did a similar thread on the TMA Forum some years ago, but I think that was along the lines of 'What was your first megalithic experience?'. Anyway, at the Megameet on Saturday there were three or four people for whom it was their first visit to Avebury, and it seems likely that quite a few people do set off on their wider megalithic adventures after a visit there. We've got bits of writing from people over the last few centuries recording their first visit to Avebury - John Aubrey, William Stukeley, William Morris and HG Wells for example.

So, when was your first visit to Avebury (including the surrounding areas of Silbury, West Kennet, Piggle Dean etc), and do you remember how you felt about them at the time?
