What a fantastic time away, much needed for mental health, and to re balance ourselves. We arrived Friday and we used that day to set up and relax, we ended our evening with a fire and marshmallows.

Saturday we were up early to chase Waterfalls, we had a few in mind, Like Aysgarth, Harmby and Cauldron falls. Didn’t walk too much as hips aren’t being friendly.

We ended our Saturday with fish and chips to munch in a local town, and once back at the campsite we walked to the communal Beltane fire, to listen to tales, songs and drummers.

Sunday arrived and it’s the opening ceremony, so we gathered in the centre of the Henge. We called the quarters and cast the circle, energies raised, lit the Beltane fire and watched some Handfastings.

Wandered around the Northern henge, which was quite a struggle to walk too for me, so we took it slow and made many stops. It was a wooded henge, ie inside the woods, so the bluebells are all out.

We had a closing ceremony and then onto the last communal fire. So sad to be ending, but what an experience. We had the Wind for Air/East, the Henge for Earth/North, Waterfalls for Water/West and the Beltane Fire for Fire/South and we felt mentally cleansed and close to these like minded people around us.
