Well hi to you Pete,

I'm also just going on what I've heard, and so was interested in where your information came from.....as it appears to be an unsubstantiated suggestion.

FYI although I know Dr Nick I am not them. I'm not a Dr, I only have a Diploma in Tourism Management, and am interested in the sustainable management of heritage sites.

I too am interested in ways WKLB could be managed, but might find other ways to phrase a question to garner opinions about its potential management.

Awe, I was so hoping you would introduce yourself with a "Hallo Every Body!" type simpson's remark!
WKLB is not Owned by the NT but by the local farmer David Hues who Allows the NT to manage it.
Both he and the Trust are concerned about the ongoing damage and are trying to find a way of preserving it better.
Each quadrant of Avebury is going to be closed in turn over the next year to help the grass recover.
As a tour guide what would you suggest to make things better?
A tour guides charter maybe?
Could you help write one?
