Warminster on the hill 1991/1992

This was a good party, although it took a while to find. Usual set up, I ended up driving Mark and Steve I think, John was faffing, so we decided to go before him. We had directions from the Rifes' I think, and we set out. Driving down the dual carriage-way not knowing where abouts exactly the rave was. I noticed on the right that there seemed to be lots of lights coming from what looked like a barn. So we took a look and it ended up to be nothing, not deterred we pushed on. I remember we got to a big roundabout somewhere in Warminster, and that was where it started. We hit a huge convoy that was being led by this car with a yellow flashing light, we whizzed around and barged our way into the convoy, turning the music right up and getting all hyped up. We drove for about ten minutes where we started to go up the hill, as per usual cars were parked everywhere. We continued up till we came to the brow and we managed to get into a tight space.

We walked a short distance across the field to where the party was being held. It was in a tent with a small chill out area which if looking at the decks would be on the right. The D.J. was in what looked like a VW van, very similar to the Weston Woods party, that is why I think it was the same crew, also the speakers and some of the lights looked familiar. The music was odd, I can't remember what it was, but it was very hard to get into and dance. Had a quick go but it wasn't right. Every-one seemed to be on the same vibe as me, there were more people chilled out that dancing. It wasn't until the early hours that people started to come up and dance. I'm not sure who was there, but we sat on the edge of a dip on a tree stump, I think the hurricane earlier that year had blown it over and it had uprooted itself. We sat there and got stoned. While sitting there spaced out we began to watch people walk past us, we had prime seats. What the majority of people were doing, being off their heads and being dark also, they were falling down the hole, which made great entertainment for us space cadets. I think we sat there for several hours watching it. We didn't bother to tell anyone, why should we spoil our fun.

We left at dawn not seeing anyone we knew except Jon I think who was with (what's his name now, the dancer guy). I can just about remember being very out of it, not getting home though, I think I may have hit a few cars on the way out! Talking about the rave afterwards, so called, some girl was run over and killed by a car who was driving around the field, but that has never been confirmed. Did not see any police there or outside the rave.

(multimap) Well it could be any of those hills, would know it if I go back.
