CC Roundup

Mudford, nr Yeovil, Somerset. Reported 6th August.
This chain of circles connected with a long avenue of various widths would generally be regarded as 'second rate' to the more impressive designs we have seen to date in 2010. However I was genuinely amazed by the fluid nature and the amount of details in its floor construction. This small town is an unlikely place for the phenomenon to appear. The actual event was hidden away on several acres of wheat fields just outside of the town itself.

You found yourself surrounded by tall hedgerows and beautifully formed tree lined fields. It was an incredibly peaceful place, and yet what was discovered on the ground was just astonishing!

From an aerial perspective, this line of circles wouldn't look all that impressive, as its uneven appearance would point towards an air of suspicion on its genuine nature. However on closer inspection each circle itself had a number of details, we haven't witnessed for sometime. Reminiscent of earlier times back in the nineties!

The middle circle (placed on the avenue) didn't actually have a swirled centre. The avenue leading into the circle carried on into the central point, and then merged with the circle making process around its perimeter.

The largest circle (positioned closest to the tree) also included an avenue, located under the main floor construction of the circle. Also (from the images) we can see lodging or wind damage which runs into the Circle itself, whether it was there before the circle was made is debatable? The question we have to ask is why anyone would want to create this event in a damaged field already? It was as if the Circle making process doesn't consider wind damage when choosing its canvas.

A pleasant surprise indeed at Mudford!
