I'm going to try and get down there, not exactly sure what I will be doing just yet. Got to talk the boss into going!
I'm aware of that Martin, I was born and lived there for the first twenty one years of my life, but unless I missed a trick Stamp is refering to 21/June which is Summer Solstice (Mid Summer) and I stick with my story the henge was built to celebrate Mid winter, but hey if people want to get naked, smoke drink and dance,who am I to stand in their way!
We owe the debt of our blood to our ancestors and our skills to their perserverance.
I daren't burn a sunwheel around these parts I shall head off up the highest hill i think and await the dawn

I can't get any time off work so will have to miss it for another year or wait for the winter solstice...
I know where you are coming from, I'm working on the Solstice too and in an ideal world I'd have the day off. But as I'm doing an early on the Thursday and a late on the Friday, I'm planning to hike over to Boscawen - Un on the Thursday afternoon, camp, get me head down early, then get up about 4am, pack up, head to the standing stones, enjoy the sunrise, which down here is just after 5am, chill out for a bit, then hike back.
I'm giving myself four hours to do a walk I know I can do in two and a half, which still leaves me an hour to play with to get a shower and eat before heading to work for ten hours.
Going to be a long day, but hopefully well worth it
