Stonehenge was worth the effort of getting up early to be there for our 8 am appointment! It was pretty cold but wonderful to walk around the stones and have the place pretty more to ourselves. The sky cleared before it was time to leave, so we had some blue sky to enjoy the experience. The security guard took time out to show us some of his 'snaps' he had captured as a perk of the job of being there 24/7. He was lucky enough to have photos of when there was a mist swirling around the stones.
We were not allowed to touch them as there is rare fungi and moss growing on the stones that had been dying off because of the handling etc., Security is to keep druid followers from using the stones for ceremonies and of course the threat of graffiti artists or carvers.
Then it was off to the coast for a couple of days in Devon and then Cornwall and Isaac.
