There are likely to be two distinct camps: those who had to navigate their way through the strikes today, and those fortunate enough to not have to travel. And perhaps a third camp altogether of some 6,000 or so who made it to Stonehenge to observe the season change from spring to summer. It’s the first chance they’ve had in three years, due to the site being closed during the pandemic.
