Andy, the magazines you list are the ones I exchanged with and The Ley Hunter didn't want to, (exchange that is) although I did ask. Bob Trubshaw had not yet started At The Edge (I exchanged with his Mercian Mysteries). Also exchanged with The Cauldron, White Dragon...good days! Many of the mags I owned have disappeared sadly, as I lent them to a bloke who was living in Newton Abbot, and he never returned them. He had the infamous claim of "being kicked out of the Torbay Pagan Circle because they said I smelt"- one of the funniest lines I've ever heard; and one which I must try to shoehorn into a book/play one day.
As Editor of Wisht Maen I had many strange and off-the-wall encounters and letters; a memorable one was a guy from Scotland who studied UFOs and wanted to pitch his tent in my back garden; a psychic dowser who was told to go around Devon collecting spirits who were stuck on the earthbound plane; and a guy who was a crop circle nutter who lured me all the way over to Torquay on a promise of showing me a genuine crop circle; turned out to be suspiciously fashioned by human hands and he was more keen to try and sell me old bits of furniture his kids had grown out of (broken bunk beds leap to mind). Always great fun driving around Devon and Cornwall delivering the new issues to the retail outlets and catching up with the bonkers shop owners. Still get out on "quests" when I can, looking up old/forgotten standing stones and wells and Green Men. Not far from Glastonbury now so go there occasionally to visit the lesser known sites; and always get speechless at the old tat for sale (I call it Wilkinsons Witchcraft) - bri-nylon wizard capes and plastic altar ornaments)
