"Us" being a bunch of new-age pagans who want it all to themselves? Might as well let the scientologists, another 20th century "religious" construct, take over. Or back to the days of the "druid" masons.

Should be interesting to see what happens when they get rid of the A344 and the whole area that needs to be "managed" gets a lot bigger.

Many people were very fed up after attending the last solstice and there were a lot of complaints about the lead up to it and the open access itself.

Our campaign aims to bring real changes to the way in which managed open access to Stonehenge is run. There is only one official date of managed open access, the summer solstice, but English Heritage let us have a few hours open access at the winter solstice and the spring and autumn equinoxes, but they can withhold access at these other times any time they choose.
