I hope we didn't annoy too many motorists - that wasn't our intention - but we did make our presence felt. As you might imagine, whilst most of our fellow road users took things in good part, there were the odd few muppets out there this morning. All of them fell into three categories - and all clearly are very important. Pity the police weren't about to see how well they controlled their cars whilst doing 80mph+ in a 40mph zone - they would've been very impressed.
The three categories of muppet were:
Short spotty youths in over-priced and under-serviced grey Audis;
Yummy mummies (strangely ALL blonde!), clearly late on school run yet again, in black Mercedes;
White van men, smartphone on steering wheel as they text as they drive, drink coffee and light new fag from old one.
Just imagine how dangerous any of them might be if they had opposable thumbs?
I'm afraid that I for one wasn't prepared keep my promise to Inspector Lange of Wiltshire Police to "keep up with the speed of other traffic."
Janet and Dave Hassett, the founders of STAG led from the front, the back and the middle of the procession - the great advantage of a circular route; even when they were behind, they were in front.
Most importantly, we achieved the primary objective, which was to make use of the Press being at Stonehenge for the opening of the new Visitor's Centre to grab a bit of Press attention.
So thanks to all who turned out this morning and I hope you will be back at 1300 this afternoon and again inthe morning to greet the public!
Hopefully, we will have some better photos later in the day!
