This formation is
just visible from the roadside as you pass the entrance to Knapp
Hill. As we drove passed Knapp Hill at sunrise – the distant fields
were shrouded in morning mist, so we just missed the discovery of
this hill top formation.
To enter this
formation you can park opposite Southfield
and walk along the Tawsmead and Southfield
field boundary.
The formation sits
at the brow of the hill and in a dip of the field – directly below
in the next field is the triangular formation which was first
reported 22nd of July.
When you first
enter this formation the first feeling is of chaos – wheat seems to
be lying in all sorts of directions. Upon inspection you start to
realize that this chaos turns to perfection. Single lines of
flattened wheat are complimented by a spread of wheat to the left
and then to the right – this is seen throughout the entire ring of
the formation. The makers once again have demonstrated to us
complexity in their designs. This design deserves some sunlight to
show the shading and contrast to bring out the true splendour of
their work. Once again the weather conditions were wet and grey. I’m
starting to think that the makers are responsible for controlling
our weather conditions so the harvest is delayed – so that they can
squeeze in one or two more formations here and there. Just a thought
of course!
Just as we were
leaving the farmer turned up with a contribution box which we
applauded this sensible act. If you decide to visit please (it is
worth visiting) – please contribute every pound you can.
It is also worth a
mention that night watchers were camped out all night on Woodbrough
Hill but yet they heard or saw nothing. This demonstrates the
maker’s swiftness and silent abilities while creating their perfect
creations.
