Had a wee walk down to Waylands Smithy and there was a handfasting going on in the trees (forget the name of the mound there?), anyway, after the fasting, they had attached banners to the trees and proceeded to just rip them down causing a lot of damage to the trees, as well as leave litter and beer cans about, not forgetting kids and dogs running riot.

When I approached them, they were non plussed about it all and their claims to be Pagans was a bloody joke. Also (nearly end of rant!) when they left in their massive 4x4's, they ripped up the ground and again left litter behind.

Don't get me started on 'them' (glad to hear they aren't just here....or should that be sad to hear?)

Very sad indeed. Had a similar experience last week while spending time up on Stanton Moor at The Nine Ladies. I was horrified by the amount of beer cans and bottles lying around the site and the amount of so-called "offerings" tied into the branches of trees, including cheap plastic beads and other non-degradable artifacts. I did spend some time collecting bottles and cans and removed them from the site.

This site is also being seriously harmed by the amount of camp fires that have been lit, some in very close proximity to the circle itself.
