Heritage’s decision to open the monument on the wrong day!

Temporary Solstice car park open from 00.01a.m. to 4p.m. (last
admittance 11a.m.) on Saturday 21st. June 2003. Free access to the
stones (subject to security searches) will be allowed from 2a.m. to

Unfortunately the Solstice dawn occurs on Sunday June 22nd and we
intend to protest at the decision to deny access to us with music fun
