Teddy Tours Druids Temple

[QDanT]

Had a day out with Mrs QDan (Brenda) we managed Skipton, Blubberhouses, Harrogate, Ripon, Masham OK then got into the backroads where they must have been expecting a German paratrooper invasion as we passed cross road after crossroad and junction after junction without a road sign, we even went through villages with no sign to say where we were, and there was no one about to ask. So after a couple of doubling backs and allot of swearing at the map we managed to find SE 17471 78710 mainly by looking for the farm name signs. So along a forest road as far as a locked gate then no real car park or signs we stopped got out the gear and walked through the forest to find

that was the first view and these were a few walking round it

All the surrounding woods were full of boulders

Back to the main circle for dinner, Teddy and Brenda argued as to who was chief druid

Dinner Bacon and Egg with Crinkle cut Chips Perri Perri Ketchup cooked on a Czechoslovakia "Meva" 2 pint paraffin roarer which with no wind didn't need to be in the Jacobs biscuit tin wind shield I have this in a silent burner model as well

and a South African Pinotage/Shiraz

and the chips and a brew

Talking about a German Paratrooper invasion Brenda can remember the sound of the V1 Rockets over London
A bit photo heavy but an enjoyable day out and dinner, just thought I'd share, cheers all Danny

I recognise that place.

Didn't they film the sacrificial scene from Terry Pratchetts 'The Colour of Magic' there?

A smilie would have made a difference or are you some kind of "pubcrafter" isn't this Forum about getting out,traveling and doing stuff ?
I wonder how many would go to the "Pub" with you and how many would have chips and a drink here ?

How do you run a Poll ?
cheers Danny
