LONDON STONEHENGE WALK 2001
The Walkers generally avoided the main carpark and holed up contentedly at Wood henge for a
Was peaceful, beautiful, generally dry... the kids loved it, no foot and mouth problems(unlike the cancelled Brighton/South Downs walk) and had a sporting theme! The Vikings played
badminton, Zonk Star stole first base at four in the morning,
Emperor Ming was the goalie and Stuart the long-distance
unicyclingchampion.
We found a Tardis and stood in trees,
mystifying rural police on several occasions.
We went by the source of the river Test and had to wade some footpaths, busking and flyering in the towns, hiding out in the woods round the pot, with conjouring tricks and guitars.
After 3 weeks walking it was unbelievable to be in the centre of 14,000 people on solstice night, a swirling cauldren of shining silver sugarcube green
initiation that I couldn't possibly describe.
The 18th London- Stonehenge Walk leaves Battersea Park peace pagoda June 1st 2002.
Very highly recommended!!! jes
NATIONAL TRUST RESOLUTION
The National Trust council, however, is recommending members to vote against the resolution and pave the way for compromise desecration.
ON TUNNEL AT STONEHENGE
N.T. members are voting on the 27th October at their A.G.M. on a proposal against a tunnel that will hide roads from the visible Stonehenge landscape but permanantly damage surrounding ancestral land.
"A road beneath the ground does not disappear from consciousness or sensibility" "In the history of Stonehenge the motercar may soon be a moment gone.
We should not contemplate radical invasive symptoms of a disease that must be cured by other means."
Postal votes in by 19th Oct or give your opinion of the tunnel scheme, long known as the 'Master Plan',at the Barbican on the 27th.
After the Stonehenge2001 solstice gathering
many of the 14,000 people present wanted to spend more time together to continue in the celebration of the solstice.
The authorities made it very clear that there would be no tolerance for an after party, and they did in fact actively
prevent a party from forming.
The Stonehenge peace process has
demonstrated goodwill and sincerity on the part of the
authorities.
The peaceful gatherings at Stonehenge have
demonstrated our ability to work together in collaboration and to police ourselves.
Yet the situation still exists where there is so much fear of the party culture - worldwide! -
this is as much a dinosaur from the '80's
as the Stonehenge conflict was. -

The Party Party was born to dispel this misunderstanding, to take responsibility for and to heal that which is unhealthy in our culture, to promote all that is positive about "the party," and how society benefits, and our essential human right and need to
celebrate our lives.
The Party Party is a voice for all of us,
especially those who cannot find any home in the
current political landscape.
