Yes, I'm back to front. That's the next northernmost event between Sanctuary and Silbury. I've never seen either so I have no image of the landscape whatsoever. I'm hoping to have another shot at the moonset in Smithills then.

The southernmost standstill event is the moonrise on the morning of April 1st. I've calculated it at 02:18 for Avebury but I don't know when British Summer Time begins this year. The moon should rise above the Southern Entrance, as seen from behind the Z-Stones; in the Last Quarter phase. It's so important it'll inevitably rain.

I spent an hour and a half on top of a freezing Bolton moor watching for a moonrise ninety degrees away from where it actually was. By the time the standstill gets exact, next year, all these practise manoevres might seem worthwhile.

British Summertime begins this Sunday morning (27 March). I envy you your first sight of Silbury.

Shame that only one half of the story is told........but you're only interested in one side though aren't you? But all you appear to be interested in is confontation, not solutions.

I'm not sure exacty what it is you see as confrontational?
People reporting observations? News from within the area?
People climbing on stones?
You could always write to HA and your comments will be considered to add to any of the news items.

Some of the things you write have another side to them, some of the things you write are not completely true and some of the things you write are out of date.
........for instance have you asked questions of the organisations that care for the monuments? and if so what are the replies?
