If you approach Marlborough from the Hackpen Hill
area, just before Marlborough Golf Club the Ogbourne St. Andrew
formation is clearly visible. This formation is situated just
outside the boundary of the main village on the left hand side -
heading towards Marlborough and is not visible from the main road.As
you enter the field the formation at this point is still not
visible. The nearest entry point is through the 8th tramline. Quite
interestingly the tramlines are angled and steer of to the left.
This formation sits half on the incline of the field and the other
half on the peek of the field. At the tip of the formation the field
slopes downwards once again. From ground level photography is quite
a challenge as you can only see the nearest parts of the formation
nearest to you.
The formation once again is a giant and spans over 5 tramlines - is
this a sign that other formations are likely to be large and
impressive ?.
We arrived several days after the formation was first discovered so
areas of possible interest are generally no longer visible due to
visitor traffic.
I have heard that the farmer of this field is not allowing visitors
to enter BUT there is a contribution bucket attached to the gate -
so whether this belongs to the farmer or not is something I cant
answer.
This formation had affected my camera where focusing is concerned. I
have switched to manual focus but yet most of my images still came
out blurry. I and many others have experienced such problems before
where electronic equipment simply fails for reasons which are still
fully not explained.
