A Web Cam at West Amesbury.......soon please H A!

The STAG team are very pleased that our web page is at last up for all to see: www.sh2.co.uk!   Among lots of information about how the dualling campaign is progressing, we can check what's going on with the A303 from the web cam at Solstice Park.  This information is handy in as much, that Watch Bustard and wife decided it wouldn't be necessary to go handing out flyers at West Amesbury, since the A303 looked to be practically empty at Beacon Hill and, it being Easter Saturday, assumed most people had reached their particular holiday destination..... How wrong we were, when we took a run out for some food supplies....And a note to :
a web cam at West Amesbury please......soon!

Queueing at West Amesbury was....S.N.A.S.U.....situation normal....another snarl up!!   Not only was it nose to tail, as it has been most days since we were out on Friday 11th with flyers, but at least two vehicles had to be rescued with poached radiators....or....over heats to you and me.  There was the usual cooked clutches..... and of course....Watch Bustard does have his uses in getting all these broken cars off the carriageway!......Only the finest bottled water, just purchased from Lidl 20 minutes previously..... used to cool things down!!  Tip from WB....apart from checking your water levels before you leave home, if you do find yourself in a traffic queue, turn AC off, the fan on full and the heating up to max - even if it's 30 degrees outside.  This has the effect of taking heat away from the engine therefore cooling things down under the bonnet!   Unfortunately, this information was too late for these poor soles !!









While all this rescuing is going on, flyers are being handed out.....my thanks to the gentleman who said "this road needed to be dualled over 20 years ago"....and offered me a shovel!!   I hope the two lads in the black Renault made it to their wedding in Frome and so sorry for the family in the Volvo who only went out for the day to visit Stonehenge......without a ticket!!   Watch Bustard and myself have made so many friends out here on the A303...such fun!


Just when things were settling down into a moving queue......there's an incident over the hill toward Stonehenge Bottom and Wiltshire's finest with blues and two's, are having to weave in and out through standing traffic......!!!!













Please will you sign our petition to get rid of these queues:
