Terry does it every year. It was after a procession from Avebury, and was done in honour of Lammas. Terry does a lot of good for the Avebury community, and treats Silbury Hill with the respect and honour it deserves.

I sooo disagree!
Tell me how he is an asset to the community?
and how he can have respect for something he tramples underfoot?
Don't start me ranting now!

every year?
he has only done it for the last 2 years.
Only since the hill was damaged.
WTF is that all about then?

Scousemaiden: "It was after a procession from Avebury, and was done in honour of Lammas."

This sounds suspiciously like "he was a pagan and therefore has a special right to climb Silbury", to me. Being a revivalist druid don't make his footsteps any lighter, though.

Ishmael: "During the hour that Dobney walked around the top of the hill posing the passing traffic was slowing down and swerving dangerously all over the road."

I agree with everything you say except for that. On the basis of this argument, people would still not be allowed to climb Silbury even if it were made stable, and I think that would be a real shame.
