Canehenge discovered at HE Camp "More people will come," say denizens. |

Two days ago, in a field in the New Forest, locals wept with joy as the Educationsense Camp moved into town. A nearby
horse whinnied.
When asked for his initial reaction, Peter said, "I think it's great. There's plenty of grass." Paul, the Marquee man, was already busy at work, in an attempt to single-handedly erect a 40' square marquee. "I haven't done it like this before," he stated with glee. Luckily, Chris and Lyn had arrived on their bus, ready to help. Within a short time, the marquee was up, and the camp café was taking shape. Just as the sun went down, the yurt was also fully-built and ready for furnishing. Peter and Chris disappeared shortly after breakfast yesterday, and rematerialised only for cups of tea throughout the morning. |
A little after lunch, a yellow light seemed
to shine in the sky as the two men reappeared in the middle of the field, with the fabled Canehenge standing tall all around them. Seeming as
though it was only hours old, the gigantic 8' structure had all its 16 bamboo canes in position, with the circular structure still fixed atop the vertical
poles. Bewildered scientists excitedly noted that the ribbon streamers were also still intact. When asked for his initial reaction to the experience, Chris remarked: "It
was tiring. Now, I'm going for a cup of tea."
Excited travellers from far away flocked to the site and the community that soon grew up around Canehenge as the day progressed. Small children frolicked as their parents hurriedly put up tents and drank tea. A group of young ladies were standing still, and so were asked to erect the bell tent, meant for the older children in the community to use as they will. Although Rose was |
"sceptical about the outcome of the shape", Sara said it was "an enjoyable and interesting experience".
Daisy shrugged and felt relieved that she could sleep on the bus. As more people arrived, it was noted by experts in the field that some denizens were building their homes in straight lines. When this was pointed out to the people, some passers-by thought they sang "it wasn't intentional" in perfect pitch and harmony, but this is unlikely. The curse of Friday the 13th struck one poor family, though. With their car breaking down on the M25, Buffy (real name withheld) had to transport her family to the site of Canehenge and then return to fetch their belongings. Denizens are hoping that she will return soon. Misfortune also befell two more families, who did not have anything to eat for dinner. Pizza was later delivered and then a good night was enjoyed by all. |
