What are your feelings. ?

Being a massive Avebury fan i'm still awestruck each time i visit, especially when i get up close and personal with the cove stones, the Swindon stone, Longstones etc.

What are your "feelings" on arrival. ?

Much the same as yours Mega. I feel the joy of arrival and the depression setting in when I leave. I used to always go alone to Avebury so that I wasn't distracted but at 64 I like company these days as I feel more confident in talking about it and having an opinion at long last. I spent so long visiting here and there like it was a race to get them all in that it dawned on me one day that I was seeing a lot but learning precious little else. I want to go out of this world knowing a lot more about Avebury than what I read in books that are all just other peoples ideas.

There's a few of us meeting up at Avebury in the near future, i'm not going to go into detail as the person who leads our little info trips is banned from here so it wouldn't be appropriate, but if you'd like to e-mail me through my profile i can give you more details, always glad to meet another Avebury nut.
