I do tend to veer away from the endless repeats on the tv & eating my own body weight in roast potatoes (if only for a few hours) so we jumped in the car this morning and went to Glastonbury Tor to fulfill the inner Druid.
And jolly nice it was too, now where did i put that cider? 8)

It was certainly different, especially the didgeridoo guy at the top :P

Can't beat a bit of digeredo. Had one on top of Stowe hill on mid summers Eve. I wonder if it was the same guy. :)

The air was so clear today I could see the Exmoor clear as a bell, from the center of Dartmoor. :D

Looks like typical Glastonbury characters there (didgeridoo guy etc). Cracking day for a drive in the Zed and a walk up the Tor. I feel like I need to do it several time to walk off the over indulgence of the day!

The first thing I saw on bbc breakfast this morning, they were interviewing a couple. It looked stunning. Definitely on my list next year a really early run over from sussex. Great way to do Christmas day.

Is it a steep walk to the top? Would like to go with Deb but if it's a hike that might not work well.

I’d say it’s a fairly steep walk, it certainly makes you puff a bit. Probably about half an hour after leaving the car at the bottom.
The view from the top makes it worthwhile 8)

So, might have to exchange some of the money I received yesterday for petrol and go here. Will check weather for rest of the week/end. :driving:
