I believe that astronomically we should celebrate sunrise Tuesday 23rd Sept 2014 and Monday 22 December 2014 at Stonehenge. But many people would prefer Sunday 21 December cos its a weekend and that’s what their diary says. But if you’re looking for the solstice sunrise alignment its Monday 22nd December2014 , I claim.

STONEHENGE free access into the Stones & triangle area
STONEHENGE free access into the Stones & triangle area:
There has been a great deal of discussion on this subject and many groups, this is a Note to encourage discussion here or elsewhere regarding two vital legal precedents relating to ACCESS Obviously these are not my opinions but simply how the law stands at present in relation to demands fo…r the public to freely gather there, whether at specific times or at all times.
EU HUMAN RIGHTS PRECEDENT When reading this EU Commission [Courts of Human Rights] 1998 judgment, Application No. 31416/96 note what was NOT done to find a solution [there are clues] before applying to the Commission by the then druid complainants and see whether anything has changed, ie what would be said now if that precedent was placed in front of the Commission – especially in relation to discrimination. “It follows that this part of the application is manifestly ill-founded within the meaning of Article 27 para. 2 of the Convention. “

In other words, NO single religion is ever going to be given precedence over another neither in EU or UK law, especially whilst the established religion in the UK is Christianity.
UK PRECEDENT Law Lords precedent Law Lords back public gatherings May 1999

Feel free to share and the more the merrier as this will require some deep consideration and discussion, as a druid I can see that originally the druids might have relied upon their religion in order to get in to the Stones when there was an exclusion, now the public including
ALL other religions and the general public including those you do not agree with MUST be equitably and equally accommodated/allowed access and only a movement which includes everyone equally and publicly considering the public outnumber any other groupings, will legally and deservingly succeed . If you want to change the law, then that is another issue!

Arthur Pendragon and The Loyal Arthurian Warband
Regardless of whether you support Arthur or his work, his achievements and continued work are respected for the current open access arrangements and the end of the “exclusion zone” that we were forced to tolerate during the years after the Battle of the Beanfield until the Round Table Meeting group formed in the late 90’s to manage open access at the two equinoxes and two solstices.

*******************************************************
Took this photograph on Tuesday. Please read very carefully, because if this isn’t an exclusion Zone I would like to know what is!!!!! This is at both entrances to Byway 12! No public access whether by foot or by vehicle via the A344, no access even to pedestrians on the Byway 12 or 11. No parking obviously on the A303 and so the total control of the landscape is complete…oh and no suitable alternative routes!!!! So the only way we are ALLOWED to access Stonehenge is via English Heritages visitor center!! There seems to be no current evidence on the Wiltshire Council web pages. Please Telephone Mr John Cole at Wiltshire Highways.
