Walking the Ancient Path in a Modern World
Having flown and tumbled with the Mountain Wind down Corndon Hill I was in a state of exhilaration. How, then, to come down from that?

Kal also had some work to do at the circle (he hadn’t really wanted or needed … Read More “Michell’s Fold 2015 – The Green Lady and the Copper Dragon” »

Actually, the call was pulling at my feet … Read More “Luds Church 2012 – Moonlight meeting with Gawain” »
For several weeks I had been passing by Old Oswestry Hillfort in Shropshire on my travels to Wales and to some of the closer megalithic sites in North Shropshire.
