A year ago, you would be lucky to be allowed to park up your car within 5 miles of the stones, but three weeks ago, the ban on gatherings at Stonehenge was overturned by the European Court of Human Rights.
After the usual chaos, fuckups and general anarchy that goes into putting on a party of this kind, about 300 people were gathered around a geodesic dome painted fluoro and lit by UV lights (it could be seen for miles!) dancing to techno, about 100 yards from the site of the infamous battle of the beanfield. I was 6 years old when all that shit went down, it was a pretty traumatic experience and I always knew we had to have a free party there sometime, if only to prove a point. Well, thats one ambition fulfilled!
At sunrise, partygoers were allowed among the stones, and the party was allowed to continue as long as we wanted it to. No problems with the authorities (in fact we will have some photos of one copper getting into the party spirit soon)
We gave out a telephone number to call on saturday for directions to the party, and when people heard where we planned to do it, we were laughed at - no-one believed we could pull it off. In future, if you hear that we are planning to do the impossibe, come along and check it out!
Wicked team spirit that made it all happen, too many contributors to mention, but you know who you are...
