Thanks to Steve Vaughan who writes:

"I thought it might cheer up all of our Christmases to see something dredged from the Crickley Archive, and newly restored for a new generation. Thus, my humble offering - Richard Savage tapping into his inner Attenborough to deliver his epic stride across the Gloucestershire hill fort, now newly digitised and uploaded to Youtube. It’s in four parts, because as you no doubt know by now, Richard does like to go on a bit. You might remember that this used to play on a continuous loop in the site visitor centre, driving the wardens quietly crazy. The only reason I have a copy of this is because I won it in a raffle at the Friends Christmas dinner one year. Doubly festive then!"

Crickley Reunion 2020

Given the state of the world and the antiquity of former diggers, the youngest of whom must be 42 (the minimum age qualification being 16, and the last season being 1994), the age of the oldest of whom being an uncertainty which is lost in the mists of time, it would appear prudent to postpone the 2020 Reunion from this year until next.

You are all to take very good care of yourselves and I hope to see you all in 2021.
