Although not the most impressive formation this year, just to keep you all up to date, there was a formation at West Woods close to Lockeridge in Wiltshire.
This formation appeared on the 21st June (Summer Solstice) and was not cut out buy the farmer.
West Woods is well known for its carpet of blue bell flowers which lay on the woods floor each year.
There have
also been many mysterious UFO sightings over the years near the woods. We saw a triangular craft fly over the woods in the early 90s.
There has also been many crop circles at this location over the last 20 years, and many visitors to these crop circles have strange tales to tell regarding this part of Wiltshire. West Woods is well known by the locals of the area to be nothing but strange, and
weird!

Researchers and enthusiasts gather together from around the globe each summer to present and share new ideas, experiences and research into this enigmatic phenomenon. Our programme combines top national and international speakers, along with exciting newcomers to provide a broad collection of ideas and thinking on the subject. Above all, the weekend is a
celebration of the inspiration and influence these magnificent forms have had on our culture and it is an opportunity to meet new people and network with like-minded souls.

Crop Circle/Sacred Sites Coach Tour 2015.
|
|
Image copyright Dan Vidler.
Crop Circles/Wiltshire's Sacred Sites Coach Tour with Dan Vidler and Jonathan DeVierville. Both are enormously experienced crop circle researchers and tour
guides.
We pick up at the Bear Hotel in Devizes (next-door to our main conference venue). We leave at 9.30am sharp, and drop back at the Bear Hotel at 4.30pm (approx). We have limited places on this very popular tour, so please book early!
There can be no substitute for a first-hand visit to the crop circles. Spending time examining the fine detail inside the circles and soaking up their enigmatic spaces is a unique and amazing experience! Cautionary Note: For the first time in 9 years, we were unable to arrange permission to enter any circles for our 2014 tour. 2014 had seen only a handful circles in Wiltshire and of those that had appeared despite our very best efforts, the farmers did not want visitors. We did arrange an alternative itinerary and the tour went ahead, visiting Avebury Stone Circle and the Crop Circle Exhibition in Devizes Museum. Several well known researchers also helped out and spent time with those on
the tour. Who knows what 2015 will bring? We hope some circles for you all to visit! But we would like everyone booking this tour to know when they book that while we will do everything we can to ensure permission for our tour to visit we feel its only fair to tell you that cannot guarantee either crop circles, or cooperative farmers. So as per last year there will be an alternative itinerary in place should
we need it. As usual, we provide a delicious buffet lunch served in a local country village hall. Transport, tour guides, payments to farmers/attractions and your lunch are included in the ticket price. Transport will be an air-conditioned coach.

Please help us raise money for our flights to record the crop circles in the UK...
We have always been committed to providing the best quality crop circle photography anywhere. Not only as a record of the phenomenon as it unfolds, but also as a legacy for future generations. High quality images are essential for the future and not only will hold more information, but will also show the
magnificence of the crop circles in the landscape and hopefully record the majesty and beauty of the circles for generations who were not there to witness them first hand. The cost of obtaining our high quality images each year is huge (running
in to thousands of pounds). We hire a small helicopter and use high-end digital SLRs to record the images. While it is true that there are cheaper methods for photographing the circles, there is a more damaging cost to the quality of pictures possible using there methods (drones etc.) where using expensive digital cameras would not be practical or possible. Because of our commitment to quality and our awareness of costs, we regularly review our practices and at the moment (as of 2015) we remain convinced that our current operating methods allow us to get the best images possible. It is through the sales of our year books, photos and other merchandise that meeting the cost of our photography possible. We also reply on our donors who very kindly help top up our flight fund each year. We never take any of our
supporters for granted and are constantly humbled and amazed at their generosity. Every sale and every donation, no matter how humble counts, and helps us continue to record this beautiful phenomenon. Here
