The Guardians of the White Horse Stone met on the 19th March to clear flytipped builders waste from the area around the stone. We had cleaned the immediate area around the stone a few months ago and this time had something more challenging to deal with.
A large amount of waste had been dumped on the Pilgrims Way a short distance uphill from the stone.
Despite numerous attempts to get the Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty Unit and the local authority to act, the Guardians decided to take matters into their own hands.
22 adults and children set to work with shovels and litter pickers to clear this eysore.
The Guardians, a group set up by the Odinic Rite in the wake of the threat to erect a telecommunications tower within yards of the stone, hope to start other Guardians projects in other areas where less popular sites are under threat.

Well done to all involved, it sounds like the official `units` who should safeguard such things are once again too lazy and uninspired so the people have to act, well these people acted. All kudos to them
