Well we can believe the hype about ohmm chanting processions and a spiritual highway between durrington, the "new" site and stonehenge or take a different view, every arena, retail park etc worth it's salt has a service road and if all the activity and partying was going on as we're lead to believe supplies had to be brought in some convenient way.
Were the 3 sites built alongside the Avon due to it's spiritual significance or just out of convenience like major developments now days are built in corridors alongside major motorways.
Sorry if i'm driving the wrong way down a one way street here, just a thought.
Just been catching up with the Bluestonehenge threads - a lot to digest (some of it felt like eating fish and chips when the oil needed changing).
Your solitary post reminded me of the day I spent with Pete Glastonbury back in the summer (seems like a long way off now). The word magical gets bandied around and I admit I am easy to please. Pete showed me the site of Durrington Walls and it was easy to imagine a town/village of people living there in wooden houses with their lifestock foraging around (sheep there that day).
What was really special though was walking along sections of the Avenue towards Stonehenge, starting down at the Avon ... I did write a few paragraphs about it here (as it felt at it time).
