Oh no! Please not. I haven't yet experienced the stars 'drawing down' at Stonehenge but hope to one day.


Years ago a mate and I on permision from EH spent what was meant to be a moonlight night there on a photographic mission. Needless to say it was so cloudy we saw nothing so compromised with the use of lanterns.


I've only really experienced the stars in their full splendour once in my life ... a moonless, frosty night near Silbury several years ago. I wasn't high on anything at all but it like seeing for the first time for a blind person. Totally awe inspiring. I understand this happens in other ancient places too and Stonehenge is one of them.
