Summer Solstice 2008

I was basing my view on the number of crystal shops and cider addled hippies in and around the area tbh

If you wanna read about Glastonbury history - Geoffrey Ashe is your man. I actually find the place rather creepy - don't know why. It sems to have bad vibes.
 
I might go avebury this year.

I might stop by Avebury at some point too, my parents live in Devizes so it's just down the road from me. Stonehenge is a laugh on Solstice though - but always colder than you would expect.

I saw girls in strappy tops and no coats the last time I went. I was thermalled up, like you would not believe.
 
Come prepared, I did FFS and I'm not the practical type :D

I sported a very attractive charity shop ski jacket last time - people may have laughed, but come 3am I was the toasty warm one :D

Solstice is the 21st June isn't it? Think I'll defo be there :cool:

Yay again!! :cool:
 
to clarify my earlier cynicism, I may well go anyway but only to take drugs and have a laugh with any mates who are also going.

not sure about the drums though :(
 
I've spent a good few solstices up glastonbury tor, it's a bit nippy sure, and one year was a bit drizzly, but it's still properly wicked. One year the sky was absolutely clear, the valleys between the hill were filled with mist leaving the hills looking like islands on a white sea, and some guy was playing the bagpipes as the sun came up. Properly awesome, never forget it.

Haven't been for the last couple, but was thinking of going again this year. Seems more chilled than stonehenge or wherever.

i was in glastonbury once and i overheard a very typical hippydippy woman say 'a lot of think glastonbury is a really mellow place, but actually its got really savage energies'. :D i love that. whenever i see anything vaguely off- key happening in glastonbury i like to mutter 'savage energies' to myself.


best thing about glastonbury- the adverts in ralph bending estate agents. i've written a little song about ralph bending to the tune of the real slim shady that i like to sing to myself.

that'd be our craig. He puts on a good show.

you're right about those savage energies.
they're all about the place :eek:

Ralph Bending has just left my place 2 minutes ago as it happens.
I had him round to value my house because I've always wanted him to sell my house. He's very funny as estate agents go.
heres a fairly typical sample just lifted from his site;
'Like Hale Berry surfacing from the sea this place curls the toes as it pours out its ejaculate and rubs itself down with a fluffy, dry towel. Suit investor with a grudge.'

heres another;
If I was a normal I would describe this house as a 'deceptively spacious period property in a sought after location' but I'm not. It's just been let but is still available to buy.
:D

he liked my shed though ;)
 
I think I may come and sell balloons all night. :D

I tried to do that at Waveform, except I ended up giving them away and doing shit loads myself. :o:(:D

You're moving?! :eek:
 
I'm getting more interested at being at the Tor... that is if I decide to go...

*wonders who I can persuade to go to Glastonbury tor*
 
now that i'm a van owner i want to get involved in fun like this that i've normally missed out on! looking forward to my first solstice at stonehenge, the english heritage site 'conditions of entry' look a bit serious, are there lots of security types around?
 
It pisses me off actually that people are allowed to go and climb all over the stones on Solstice night but any other time of the year you can't even get close to the fucking things.
 
It's frikkin always windy as fuk up there :D

LOL!

It's the best part of 600 feet above sea level and with nothing to deflect the wind, what do you expect? :p

I remember my last trip to the Tor on Solstice night in 1997. I went the there from Bognor Regis only to arrive at the campaite below the Tor (closed now) and my mates weren't going to come. As they had the tent this was a major bummer and I spent a soaking, windy and very cold night on top of the Tor with bongos hammering in my ears from all sides, surrounded by stoned randoms.

How I laughed.

yes but they dont really bother anyone.
there's a load of them searching for obvious stuff like tents and bottles just before you get to the stones.
just dont go try to go wandering through there with a pocket full of paraphenalia.

it's not officially allowed but I think they must let it go because it doesnt really do any harm and it'd probably be more trouble than its worth to ask one bloke to climb down.

Yay you can make the tea in the monring then!! :D

nah they're not too bad they are 'stewards' anyway not OB.

Well you can stand outside the circle! :hmm:

People shouldn't be standing on them though.... but it's damage limitation innit? I liked it cos it's the only time you can get near them and that's pretty cool to me :cool:
