Solstice for me, I hope, will be a solitary affair. Was at an easily accessible popular site last year. Not this year. I know where I'll try to head, and am not saying! It's not somewhere obvious!
Call me antisocial... maybe gatherings on other times. Definetly.
Cheers
Tim.

Anyone going to be out in remote northwestern Brittany ?
If so, try and get out on to the tidal island Ile Tariec. You may have to go there when the tide is out and wait. Then find the little menhir near the cairn at the top of the northern end of the island.
For the sunrise, rest your chin on top of the menhir and look towards the mainland. When the sun rises, it should first appear between the legs of the Kervennec dolmen on the mainland amongst the dunes.
Unfortunately, the Kervennec dolmen has now fallen, and is partially lost amongst the dunes, overgrowth and some ruins of wartime bunkers.
I was here for the 21st june last year, but was not able (or was it not willing?) to give up my bed in the campervan to spend it sleeping rough on a little island out to sea, cut off by the tide. I found the menhir on the island later in the morning, but not the dolmen on the mainland
