Just posted to the Sussex Express board:

I have now joined the Sussex Archaeological Society and I would urge other pagans to do so as well. If we are to be the ones who have the real best interests of this site at heart then it would be better for this to be from a position of empowerment, rather than having to protest every time such a misguided decision is taken. SAS have previously been excellent custodians of this site and they can expect there to be a motion tabled at their next AGM concerning this, unless they state, on the record, that from now on there will be NO authorised access to the Long man site except for the purposes of maintenance. Without such a clear statement the damage that could be done to the Long Man by people copying ITV's example will be even worse. It is high time ITV and the SAS issued a full apology for what happened.
