Very cool - I bet those roads in the south are fun on a bike. I drove them in a car once on some little road between Bath and Bournemouth. We'll just say the drive (and probably the driver) was traumatic Razz emoticon . Your pics are great. Was there a meteor shower?

How close to the rocks can one get these days? Last time I was there it was roped off. When I was a wee laddie one could walk in and around them, and touch them.

Twice - at the solstices. The winter solstice is the more important one by far, and makes far more sense with the placement of the stones.
