I just can’t understand anyone saying that Stonehenge, arguably the worlds most important ancient stone circle and older than the Great Pyramids and the Roman Empire, isn’t significant or wouldn’t really be missed because it’s ‘old technology’ and doesn’t serve a purpose.

Each to their own. Thumbs Up

I'm not knocking the level-of-effort or the belief behind it, but...

...Silsbury Hill is pretty awesome
...some of the pots and vases left behind by the ancient Egyptians are impressive in terms of cylindricity, consistency, etc.,
...Avebury, Aldborne, etc., are more "spiritual" (perhaps the latter being because it was in Dr Who)
...Easter Island - WTF?
...the lack of gaps between blocks in some ancient sites boggles the mind.

And, no, I haven't been watching Ancient Alien Shark Mystery Channel!

My mother recently discarded some nails from Sutton Hoo because she thought they were mucky.

I’m not disputing that at solstice times it attracts some, shall we say ‘characters’. Very Happy

I would like to see the sun align with the stones though. Although I might look a bit out of place!

If you can hum more than the first few bars of "The Age of Aquarius" you get to be their leader. Although...

...they take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week and your decision must be approved at a bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs...

i used to enjoy the stonehenge festival as a teen all those naked women and other pleasures ,,,always slept thro the dawn mind but it was a blast

fyi it was the police closing down the stonhenge festival that kicked off glastobury from a minor affair into a major event as that was the next stop on the hippee trail


Me too, although it became very "biker" focused by the last time I went, which would have been about 1982. Then it was like a scene from Mad Max and the underlying vibe was edgy to say the least.

They (the bikers) used to close off the A303 and drag race on it. Which would have been a catalyst for it being shut down.

I did max out my RD250LC and a friends Z650 a few times though. Shocked
