THE SUMMER SOLSTICE JOURNEY TO THE RING OF BRODGAR IN ORKNEY

We had been discussing going on a journey to the Orkneys for sometime before we made the commitment and set the dates. The December before, I bought a van, which I paid a friend to kit out. As it progressed, the reality started to become more solid and the excitement built. The van was ready just in time. Off we went on our journey to the Ring of Brodgar in the Orkney Islands for the summer solstice. What an amazing feeling of freedom. The release of energy that had been building up.

Our first stop was Sunbrick where we were to meet our fellow traveller, Mandy. What a lovely place. The great thing about visiting stone circles is that their positioning is always so special. Linda pointed out (as she does!) the alignments of the stone circle to the church spires and the hill formations. Quite clearly an energy line. We spent time just being there and investigating the immediate surrounding area. Mandy found a whole colony of snails tucked deeply into the crevices in the stones.
