CROP CIRCLES IN 1999

Circlemakers on Holiday?

Sat on a chalky hillside perched above a chalk figure astride a horse. Looking down on a crop circle formation I could for the life of me have been in Wiltshire.  I was however holidaying in Dorset looking across  Weymouth Bay. The formation  is just outside the village of Preston, Weymouth on the A358 to Osmington. It can be seen from the road and the chalk ridge  and has already been visited. The formation could be up to two weeks old.

The Main circle and surrounding ring are laid  clockwise with   the addition of a `spade head`  off the ring.  The lay is generally tidy and the  edges are crisp.  It is once again a reminder of the early 90s formations  that I have visited  almost exclusively  this year.  The field  again contained  heavy wind damage.  The surrounding fields particularly near the footpath  contained  small grapeshot  circles which I suspect are people  trying their  hands at crop circles having seen the formation.  Once again a wonderful  location to sit, stretch  and write making my 6 am holiday start well worthwhile.
