The route

Hi Dees!

My, that first picture seems like a tiny miniature crop circle! Did your friends make it themselves? 😉

So, while I’m typing this message, I’m washing and waterproofing my outdoor jacket (weather forecasts are pretty good, but hey, it’s England!) and I’m about to wax my hiking boots.

I’ve also just visualised our trip on Google Maps (not exactly accurate, as I couldn’t select train routes), just for fun (see below).

See you tonight!

Cropcircle etiquette

Hi there Karin,

Just started reading some pages of the cropcircle etiquette book on the internet. Want to share the next points of attention:

first, “find the farmer and pay the farmer, customary donation is 2 or 3 pounds per person, but langer amounts will ofcourse be welcomed.” (factoid:It has been suggested that crop circle tourism brings an annual revenue of about six million pounds into the area.) 

Better not take the dogs, smoking in the field is selfish, be prepared for the British weather (rainjacket, sunlotion, hat, check!) as well as for long walks, uphill and downhill… and obviously there are no public convienences in a wheat field.

So, no running through the field in summerdresses and flipflops 🙂 

Knowing this we are ready to go, well-prepared and very serious about exploring the cropcircle mystery!

Another interesting factoid from the book: “Many people insist that all crop circles are man-made. If this is true, we have witnessed, over the last quarter century, a spectacular crime wave which occurs predictably within a specific time period and in a known and limited area. This is the most observed and photographed area of agricultural land in the history of the world and yet only one individual has ever been charged.”

See you later!

Some crop circles

Hi again Dees!

Not much crop circles yet apparently, but there are a few listed on the Crop Circle Connector website which have been found in late July. One of them is in Wiltshire, so let’s hope the farmer owning the crop will leave the circle there  for a few more days!

See you soon!

First Circle of 2010

Hi Karin,

First formation of the season has arrived!

 

 I must say that I am very happy with Mike, our Wiltshire tourguide, who keeps us posted and is very helpful in finding our way around, and we are not even there yet! great! thanx Mike!

well, the question that keeps me busy right now is… is this cropcircle made by humans or by some other intelligence?

See you later,

Dees

To do!

Hi Dees,

Isn’t that great! I’m looking forward to our trip already! Out of sheer enthusiasm I started looking for B&B’s and I found two nice ones to start with:

• Monkton Wyld Court who say on their website: “For breakfast, help yourself to cereal, muesli, oats for porridge, milk, soya or rice milk. There are eggs from our own hens for you to cook to your taste and bread for toasting plus a selection of spreads and a range of herbal teas and other hot drinks. Lunch and supper are available by reservation. All our food is vegetarian and almost all organically grown, some right here in our garden.”
• The Royal Oak in Swindon, who have a pub and an organic farm as well (and serve non-traditional veggie food).

There are many more, we should probably start with the Organic Holidays website again! I guess we can search in the areas of Wiltshire, Dorset, Gloucestershire and Hampshire (and maybe a few more). Maybe we should make a to do list as well, for all the things we have to arrange!

I’ve sent an e-mail to Wiltshire tours, hopefully we’ll hear from them soon…

Good night!

Booking

Hey Karin,

That was a nice, bit chaotic, telephoneconversation we just had (86 minutes and 24 seconds)!!  Yesss, the traintickets are on their way… the 24th of july our cropcirclehunt is going to start!   So now we can contact Wiltshiretours, for a nice daytrip. I also found this very nice story about Avebury Circle (in dutch) on a very spiritual oriented website about powerspots. Please share your skeptic thoughts about this one…

see you next week,

Dees

Let’s go visit this event!

Hi Karin,

Good to hear from you. Paris was nice, no cropcircles overthere, but I did see the mysterious space invaders we saw a few years ago!

please look at this site www.2012ofnu.nl  it’s about an event in Emmen, think I already mentioned it. I really would like to go there!  Not only because Janet Ossebaard is giving a lecture, also Peter Toonen (I read most of his books) and some other interesting people will be there. A trip to Wiltshire will cost less time… but this event might do some good to the spiritual side of our hunt 🙂

Greetz,

Dees
