About an hour's run from us here in downtown Basingstoke. A nice spot on a sunny Sunday lunchtime.

The stone circle doesn't do a lot for me but the Avenue certainly had an odd effect when I went there - I felt a very strong urge to lie down in the avenue - I resisted cos it was rather damp at the time! This pic was from another visit when I didn't actually walk among the stones so didn't feel anything, must try it again someday!

Yes we remember that programme, always watched it. It was really good. I met Nick Knowles once in Tunbridge Wells shopping centre as his Mum lives in our Town. He's very tall, but really nice, mmmmmmmmmmm  and gave me his autograph The Avebury circle is a very powerful place, when we visited although it was very quiet and no-one else about you had the feeling you weren't alone. |

Hi folks,
Used to work at Marlborough as a postman (High Street delivery)
On midsummer morning (night, we used to Start at 4am) one of the lads nearly put his car up the bank.
There were dozens of naked girls dancing round the stones.
We had to sit him down. He was all " Afroth !"

Hiya Tazet (and the rest of the faithful...!)
Many thanks for the welcome.
Yup, I'm raring to lob the phoenix egg into the fire.
I've designed my own house, in Thailand.
The trike is just as exciting (and alot effing cheaper)
The trike is the melting pot of many different motoring traits, all fused together.
It will be with you in a couple of months.

Coo! Durdle Dor. Fond memories of riding there with a bunch of mates from Basingstoke back in the late 70s, early 80s. One of those weekends when we didn't have a care in the World, the sun was blazing, the jokey banter flowed as much as the beer & even the inevitable breakdowns couldn't dampen our spirits. Aah, the impetuousness of youth. |

Funny but in 34 years of living in Dorset I don't think I've been ther more than once, and that was when I first came here!

It takes some beating Tony!
Moved to Dorset 40 years ago and have no intention of ever living anywhere else!

I hope to get down to the Great Dorset Steam Rally again this year. 3rd year running. First time came down on my Virago 535 and we had a 'run out' with some of Sid's sons army buddies. Just passed through Avebury and never got a chance to stop, but it looks awesome. Unfourtunatly we were in a camper unit last year and it was too much bother takin it back of the site once we had settled in. Hope to go down in cars this year and camp, if we do I fully intend to back to Avebury to have a walk around. Supposed to be a great biker friendly pub there. We passed it and it was full of bikes. Went to Stone Hendge and was'nt reallt that impressed. There was a hill fort that I fancy going back to see as well, think it was on the A30. That was when we were heading towards the M5 to get to Barnstable. Some awesome views from the A30 down towards the South coast, but did'ny stop   |

So I said to God, "If this is it (life), you can keep it."
And God said, "Just be glad you got the heart by-passes in time.
I don,t normally give refunds".
