Stone Circle

I heard murmurs about The Stone Circle, can anyone divulge what the deal is? Is it worth going up there for sunrise or something like that?

Its an extra tenner (per night) to stay at the circle after midnight.

Apparently it's a contribution to the upkeep of the stones and surrounding area and payment to the druid who lives up there. Commercialism meh.

I wasn't overly impressed by the stone circle last year(my first time), it was way too smoky.

We ended up walking over to where all the flags were and the Glastonbury 40 sign was, and it was much more chilled out, and the sunrise was incredible!!!

It won't be the same without Brian.

Depends on how old you are tbh. It used to be a quite a spiritual sort of place back in the day but now it's mainly full of kids on laughing gas.

[starknaked]

Yeah but you're talking 4000 years ago when it was first built. You have to move with the times man.

The Stone Circle on Monday morning was like a Zombie film. You might be better going to the top of the Park

seconded

however my best friends mum has been going for about 20 years. and shes almost 50 and still heads to the stone circle every year for the sunrise.

If you want something chilled out i suggest you head elsewhere monday morning.

What you get at the Stone Circle can make it feel like 4000 years.

[rabid]

Um, 1990 is 4000 years ago is it?

I went there for Sunday sunrise in 2010 after a 6 hour nightshift and 2 hour Shangri-la wander. It was one of my "must do's". Found a nice spot, settled down in the dark, fell asleep but actually, when I woke up, it was all rather lovely. The walk back to my base at 7am I took in most the main stages and it felt amazing to be up when the majority are sleeping. My photos of that walk back are more treasured than the ones of the gigs as they are more unique to me.

Do it.

I've been thinking more about this thread.

Why should anyone visit the stones? Well, its a great escape hole to recharge and review what you've already done. Glasto is busy busy busy - like any major city on a Saturday. And I don't personally like cities that much. If you do go to the stones, have a wee beforehand and take a snack / drink with you as you are away from all "mod-cons". The view across the valley is a-ma-zing. You see the "Temporary City", unique for 5 days only. A place that exists only becasue it can. Attended only by the few that ask to be there. Its a good time to check in with your self and reflect on your needs for the next 12 / 24 hours. Good things happen when many people stop and reflect together.

What makes the dawn so special at Glasto. Its an event. Its the solstis. Its always special seeing in a new day before bed. There is just something so sweet and calm between 5am and 8am.

We were there! You know?
