I'm going to join the swarm at Newgrange I think, Munich is organising another Winter Solstice Blitz this year starting at Baltray again I suspect so might join them there or go to Newgrange first then join the rest after that. No firm plans yet though.

One place I know I'll be heading for is Dowth for sunset, the once a year opportunity to see some of the rarest carvings in the Boyne valley.

Blake's Wood, a little way up from Paper Mill Lock, just outside Chelmsford. The sun has a low winter aspect to it there, as it glides through trunk and branch... kinda makes you wonder if it's going to make it into another year - but it does. Go back in February and it's different again - pregnant almost. Still, but no longer stopped :-)

Brailes hill for Me, where time is really set from.
moon is very close, nes pas.
and Mars is still around, Me thinks a bit special this night.
But maybe not, guns are out on hill this night ,so beware.
Perhaps to Rollright I do go.

Stonehenge...as usual....for the sunrise.

At sunset I'll be at the lighting of the Alton Barnes horse.

Not in Kildare, but how about Goseck near Nebra?

http://www.sonnenobservatorium-goseck.de/ (all in German I'm afraid)

They've rebuilt the wooden pallisade and it'll be open on the 21st.

I am heading off to the seaside for xmas with the Olds, Weymouth. Finish work on Tuesday lunch and should be there around Tea time. Can anyone suggest a local site for Solstice night? I am not worried if there are no alignments.

Oh what a grey day it was here in Essex, but this is where I wish that I had gone to for the Midwinter solstice. Wow!
