Walking the Ancient Path in a Modern World
Having spent a lovely half hour at the church dedicated to Michael at the foot of the ridge known as Bwrdd Arthur (or “Arthur’s Table”) it was now time to find a way up onto the ridge.

Normal service is now resumed, and no neonicotinoids were ingested along the way. For Beltane this year I decided to go over to the very … Read More “Beltane 2013 p1 – Hermits and Hermitages” »

Not wanting to be rude, Kal and I gave a large part of our eating and drinking time over to … Read More “Alderley Edge reveals The Sword of Galahad” »
