Just reading about Dorian' s freak hailstorm experience at Hetty Peglers Tump in the antiquarian. We were up, in, on top of Belas Knap today & got majorly hailstormed on & blown about. Tis Winter of course. It was wild & beautiful. Sat inside one of the chambers were twas perfect calm & stillness. Also puzzled as to how we left seemingly by the path we arrived at belas only to find we were in a completely different adjoining field! Snowblind?!! What does "tump" mean? The mounds do look like tumps though- sort of tummys & bumps. In Devizes Travelodge, off to Waylon Smithy and Uffington horse tomorrow, followed by daily pilgrimage to Avebury- got to touch those stones.
