The sunset is also important at the Solstices - that's going to be on Sunday night this year. The main reason for going to Stonehenge - rather than to the local small circle - is to be with the other people - 'to gather'.

As a balancer to this institutional daftness can I remind that the melting icecaps are adding to sea level at an estimated two and a half metres a century and Sellafield, which is right on the coast, has places that are too radioactive to be approached for thousands of years. (I want to tell someone this - yet 'there's no one to tell').
