Winter Solsice? What were those silly people doing shuffling about at Stonehenge yesterday? I saw a picture of one silly woman hugging one of the stones!!! Really? In the 21st century. Celebrating the end of the darkness? Well it got dark again last night, and the 21st December is the first day of winter, now that is a strange reason to celebrate IMHO.

Other opinions may be available but this one is always correct.

Nice Ducati. Some might argue the fuel pipes are wrong but such trivial details won't bother me. Lockheed or Scarab brakes? Again I'm not fussed, so deliver it at your earliest convenience.

“Silly people” bikes, photos, views, it’s all subjective.

Really nice photo - which stone circle is that, please?
Had a Google, didn't realise there were as many as 15 on Dartmoor.

Re: Winter solstice

Don't know looks like one out near Gidleigh ther are circle an long stone rows out there.. Graham knows Dartmoor like the back of his hand after all brought up there he has even done guided walks the the Aircraft crash sites also made a video of the military railway ..there is still snow in places of Dartmoor from a couple of weeks back

Re: Winter solstice

Reminds me of a journey over Dartmoor in the early 60s to spend Christmas with my parents in Cornwall, it was about midnight and freezing cold. We were stopped by the police at the start of the moor telling us a prisoner had escaped and we shouldn’t stop for anyone, a few miles later the Thames van we were in stopped going forward up a hill, I thought the clutch had gone, so got out to find the road was sheet ice and the wheels had been just spinning, so got back in rolled back then attacked the hill again as fast as I could in a high gear with the wheels in the gravel at the side of the road and made it OK.

Re: Winter solstice

At the moment no prisoners in Dartmoor prison
as they have a high reading of radon gas.. you just can't believe it..my old house had also a very high reading I had to do tests.. there were more old aged people living in the village then as well in their eighties and nineties..

Re: Winter solstice

Had a look online, looks similar to the White Hill or Moor one.
