I saw it a while back when it was first shown on BBC4, and thoroughly enjoyed the programme, but it annoyed me so much! All I remember, through the red mists, was that ignorant bastard EH woman going on about moving the date of the Solstice!

Things you'd never hear:"Sorry - christmas day has been moved to December 27th this year for health and safety reasons"

I paid to go to Stonehenge for the first time last year, and was struck by the magnificence of the place - a fantastic feat of human engineering - but what a soleless place! Several people have mentioned visiting it at Solstice, but after seeing that programme, I doubt I'll bother! There's plenty of other places around where there's less "Om"ing and certainly less helicopters and whingey EH people and walls of police and time constraints... *puff* *pant* *gasp*

I've been to a couple of different places for various Solstices, and I guess it just depends, like anywhere you go, on the company. If you're in good company, anywhere can be enjoyable.

So that's what I reckon anyway. There seemed to be some nice people there. And a lot of ravers getting off their tits to the bongos and whistles. Each to their own. I doubt I'll be there. And it'll probably be all the better for it..!
