Summer Solstice Sunrise celebration: C grade 3.5 mile loop

Missed your chance to attend Stonehenge for the summer solstice?? Not a problem! Here's your opportunity to be out on a local hill with friends, celebrating the Midsummer sunrise, the dawn chorus and the "turning of the year".

"Since prehistory, the summer solstice has been seen as a significant time of year in many cultures and has been marked by festivals and rituals. Tradition states that ghosts can cross from the afterlife to this world as in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream."

We're walking up to the top of Moncrieffe Hill to view the sunrise in good company with hot drinks and snacks. Please bring & share. Please note there are a couple of steeper sections, so we will take our time in the twilight.

Grade: C in Twilight
Walk duration/distance: 40 mins up, 40 mins down / 3.5 mls total
Elevation: 250m
Pace: slow

Timing: First light on the 21st is approximately 3.20 am, and sunrise is 4.25 am, so we should be at the hilltop by 4.00 am

Weather: There should be a good indication 3 days prior as to what to expect - Here's hoping it's fine, and we'd only cancel if it's "chuckin it doon"!

Dogs: Unfortunately, due to the very early start and the proximity of houses, dogs are not permitted on this walk.

Please bring suitable extra clothing to keep you warm, a tarp to sit on and a torch to light your way up the hill.
