Just a thought, but maybe the information contained in the updates is a good few weeks old by the time it comes out, so we’ll be forever weeks behind in updates. They also could also be using avoidance tactics in an attempt to minimise panic. Worrying times for the old girl.

"avoidance tactics in an attempt to minimise panic."

Wot, rioting in the streets? How thoughtful to have spared us that!

No, I'm not sure "praiseworthy secrecy" for the sake of either the public or the hill will fit with the facts, although I have little doubt that may come up, rather soon.

(The facts it doesn't fit with are that loads of people go up there all the time and all have eyes).

Well actually a new statement has appeared on the site....

From what I saw on Wednesday, Silbury is still intact ;), the tunnel was very closed, but interestingly there seemed to be some work going on top of the mound, a machine perhaps up there?
