Solstice @ The Henge

[madzone]

I'd like to go one day, embrace my inner saggy titted hippy and all that

 

[Kanda]

saggy titted hippy

That's the best summary I have seen of Solstice at the Henge

 

[Dubversion]

Think I'll join Dub

well getting firky with rocks will be a doddle, fucking pointy-headed freak

 

[zenie]

But it is like having a party by the side of a motorway

You been?

Nah I havent TG, should be good though

 

[Tank Girl]

are you going by car zenie? or are you joining the hippy bus at salisbury bus station?

take plenty of warm clothes (not that you need telling about being prepared for stuff like this ) cos it can get fucking cold up there. comfy footwear too - you may laugh, but the amount of girls in flip flops and vest tops freezing their bollocks off all night is vast you'll do a fair bit of walking which ever way you're getting there.

enjoy

 

[Firky]

I remember hearing "watching the grass grow" on repeat for fucking hours

I think that somes up the people spot on: watching the grass grow

 

[ska invita]

Any SE londoners know if people go up to our own Spinal TAp sized stone henge on HIlly Fields in Brockley - i can imagine it being a bit embaressing!

[ska invita]

[Tank Girl]

I reckon that would be the right idea, there's always next year if the weather's good it's lovely, but a bit miserable if it's shit.

 

[Primadonna]

I went last year and got into the stones too. Loved it all!

 

[Geri]

Do people still go to Glastonbury Tor?

and you are definitely driving! van is in the mechanics that day

 

[Tank Girl]

I think so, but that hill is a bit too much for me to contemplate at night

 

[Yetman]

Me and the mrs a few years back (the middle)

Weird thing was I found this on an ayahuasca website a few months after we'd been

If the weathers good you'll love it Zenie, it does get very cold though - and theres great fun to be had in the car park the next morning

 

[zenie]

one week to go

and you are definitely driving! van is in the mechanics that day

I knew you wouldn't have it fixed by then

If the weathers good you'll love it Zenie, it does get very cold though - and theres great fun to be had in the car park the next morning

We are not going if it's shit! I can wear my cat hat if it's cold though

What do you mean by 'fun'

 

[zenie]

one week to go

...

 

[Yetman]

Ah, I mean there's little bands that play acoustic tunes while people laze about in the morning sun, hippys selling coffee with a shot for a quid a cup, peeps playing didges, bongos and stuff, everyone just chilling out and getting munted really

 

[DrRingDing]

Beware of the overwhelming police presence especially as you enter the field with the stones in.

Last year they made go through single file, past sniffer dogs and a fat line of snarling riot plod.

Delightful.

Not only that but the plastic plod inside are jobs worths.

 

[DrRingDing]

Oh and they didn't allow backpacks in either but they allowed bags you held in yoru hand. So I put my backpack in a plastic carrier bag and that was fine

 

[Onket]

at solstice you can sit on the stones (if you so wish)

If this is the case.................

 

[Onket]

generally people aren't allowed near it... but at solstice it's all open.

and you get idiots like this every year...

that was last years wanker - they soon get shouted down

Why is this bloke a wanker?

Cos he's standing? Cos of the vest?

 

[J77]

It depends on the weather too as it'll be cack oif it rains

Fair-weather hippy!

Go to Avebury -- it's more chilled.

e2a: actually, to da Henge -- if everyone starts going to Avebury the police would lock it down

e2a2: HAs anyone mentioned -- don't take any glass, the stewards will usually make you bin glass bottles -- for the obvious reasons.

 

[Onket]

We used to go to Avebury & West Kennet Long Barrow all the time, after the pubs shut, when I was a lad.

And Silbury Hill sometimes.

 

[zenie]

If this is the case.................

what are you doing on this thread??
