Originally we had thought we had to cancel this, but luck was upon us and we actually made it!! Adventure starts on Friday 29th April, this is one event I’ve wanted to do for years!

Each year they gather on these sacred henges to celebrate and honour the Goddess Brigantia. These henges are 5,000 years old and constructed for what they believe to be ritual purposes. And these henges are in the middle of the area where the tribe of Brigantines lived, so Hail Brigantia. Find out more Here

Side note at the winter solstice the 3 henges line up with the Orion’s belt.

We can’t arrive until midday, so no need to get up too early, at least. But I’m sure we will get up early anyways, from excitement.

It’s a New Moon Solar Eclipse this 30th April and that’s all about stepping out of your comfort zone, and it’s safe to say we are definitely doing that. Usually when we camp, we are insular and quiet, and not into making friends or being social. This is a huge leap away from that.

So what is Beltane, well it’s May day to most folk, it’s the middle between the spring equinox and summer solstice, so the peak of spring, and a time of new life, fresh energies, and the Sun god takes the reins. So think maypoles, flower crowns and Green Man figures. And of course the Fires, in which the farmers of old would drive their cattle through the smoke, to cleanse them.
