The tramp at Lydden Hill
Does anybody remember the old tramp who lived in the trees on the outside of paddock bend? My memories are very faint as i was very young. When did he disapear, and what was he doing there anyway!!

Sounds intrigueing, but I'll wager it was a Marshall, gone "native".
(edit...psssst Marshal is spelt with one L) Last edited by Stephen Green; 6 Dec 2006 at 14:29. |

I think he left about the time that Bill Chesson sold the circuit, about 85/86??
Didn't he have lots of cats in his "home"? |

I think his name was Kalone! and he was from Poland. He used to pick up all the rubbish after events and every so often would get himself arrested in Dover or Canterbury so he could have a shave and a new set of clothes. I think Tom Bissett arranged for him to be moved on.

Reminds me of a tramp who lived in Stevenage when I was a kid. He used to go into the Police Station in December and hit a copper so he could be in prison over christmas, although they got wise to it after a while.
There was a story that they took him to Peterborough to get rid of him and he got back before they did! |
