Do they have to be reused by the dogs coming down as I have a few grandchildren of my own that would show an interest in them I am sure. I looking forward to seeing dog trolley's being trundled up and hope the children don't confiscate them to slide down too quickly on them and cause themselves too many injuries on the way down.

They never before could visit this sacred shrine because their legs were too wobbly to walk on good solid earth, let alone climb a mountain as fearsome as the Glastonbury Tor!

If we had then we would all clearly state that we do not want nor indeed need another Supermarket! We have already got; Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsburys, Coop and Earthfare. All of these are within cycling distance and all enough to feed the entire villages of Street and Glastonbury! The council are clearly just selling us out for the promised £70,000 they will receive to let them build the largest store in the country! What do you, as council members,, think you are doing???:??

Unfortunately our tests to figure out what was under the grass were cut short when a couple of path wardens noticed we had strayed off the gravel area between the path and the grass. I'm wondering what might cause that sponginess? We visited Glastonbury Tor today and noticed that some of the grass about half way up was quite spongy.

I was rather angry though when I found that the terrier-sized trolley had been taken out by somebody with a pet rabbit. Now, I have nothing against rabbits as pets, but really, this is the first time I've ever seen one taken for a walk on the tor, and I don't see why they should take precedence over dogs.
