The WCCSG team visited this formation on the day after it was reported.  We were visiting the formation at East Kennett when we heard about it and one of our team flew the same day to get overhead shots of this new immense formation near Manton, but we did not enter it on the ground until the next day. 

The lower part of the design at the bottom of the hill had signs of quite a few visitors and the fragile stems there showed some damage from the traffic, but as we walked up the hill through the formation the rape flowers were laid like a beautiful carpet and the stems there were largely undamaged.  Much of the ground towards the top of the design, especially in the smaller circles making up the cross formations, showed no signs that anyone had walked in these parts before us.

You will notice at the bottom of the formation (looking at the middle image opposite) on the left, that the circle here has absolutely no access point.  Sadly however there are always some visitors to the formations who do not respect the crop and it will only be a matter of time before they make their own path into this area. 

We urge anyone who is visiting the formations to respect the area and particularly the standing crop.
