I used to go there every year too, but not any more.

The spirit and meaning have gone out of it...nowadays it's just an excuse for some people to dress and act weird, get drunk, and shout abuse at policemen.
I celebrate the solstice somewhere else now.

I love the Summer Solstice

And hello from Wiltshire, summer solstice nutters-blocking-the-bloody-roads-and-filling-up-the-vegetarians-cafe-central!

It's mad around here on the Solstice, I'm about 5 miles from Avebury.

I would love to be able to go there

Spent a couple of hours sat in a ruined castle looking down at the valley and the sea with a glass of wine and a good friend.

All of a sudden a load of goths turned up to do a solstice ritual.

It feels like the blimmin' longest day too...

Without wishing to deter you, you might well be disappointed.
Stonehenge isn't nearly as interesting now you can't actually get close to it, and the solstice celebrations are just another drunken party...

(Good grief, I sound like an aging hippy waxing nostalgic about the good ol' days....oh, wait, I am )

I have been a few times over the years but as I have got older I seem to have gone off the idea of not washing for two days and sitting in a cramped tent with a million strangers all sharing the same joint and sharing one anothers saliva nah...just dont appeal to me anymore
