We were at a wedding near Winterbourne Abbas when someone mentioned the Nine Stones. Next morning I set off nice and early (and hungover), only to find access to the stones via the field closed off due to building works. So what did I do? I began walking up the grass verge of the A35, with summer traffic belting past me. Then it started to rain - I mean REALLY rain (see pics). And I had to keep crossing the road because the verge was too precarious in places. Eventually, I reached the circle but I had to jump over the ditch (nearly impaling my jaw on the railings in the process). I considered jumping over the railings next, but thought better of it in case I landed groin-first on them and bled out. So instead I shimmied right round the full length of them, getting thorned and pricked by the bushes as I did so, and eventually got to the stones. And they were really impressive, I must say. It was as if the noise of the traffic just a few meters away was shut off by them for a few moments. When I turned to leave, I approached the building site, seeing if I could sneak through that way back. Security spotted me straight away, and just let me walk through. It was a Sunday after all.
