I envy you the site at midnight in June!
In the summer of '75 I was backpacking and hitch-hiking Europe (good ole
days
.
I hitched out of london and made it to a pub IIRC ~1.5mi from Stonehenge
in the evening.
My plan was to spend the night inside the stones and get-up and out at
1st light.
Earlier that day I got picked-up by a doctor with 2 kids even stopped at
his house for a while.
I told him my plan and he said that the site does attract some odd types
so I should watch myself.
Anyway the pub closed and the locals pointed me in the right direction
down a *long dark deserted road*.
Well I had 2nd thoughts on my plan either from the odd types or the
horror movies of my youth and changed my mind
.
And with those old 10PM pub closings I guess I just didn't have enough
liquid courage in me either
.
In hindsight I wish I had as it would have made a cool story whenever
Stonehenge came-up in conversation.
I went off into a field and unrolled my sleeping bag.
In the morning I sat up and there in the short distance was Stonehenge,
I remember that view vividly.
Very close to this except without the roadway
