The Wyrm and the Wyrd: Stations of the sun

Posted on July 9, 2017 by Sue Vincent

We were up and away early again, this time well supplied with munchables on which to break our fast. We may have missed the dawn, but we still caught the echoes of its gilding on the mountains. We wanted to … Continue reading →

The Wyrm and the Wyrd: Solstice stones

Posted on July 8, 2017 by Sue Vincent

We had no idea where we would be taken for the final visit of the day. We suspected an ancient site as the area is just strewn with them. A brief glance at a map of prehistoric sites had left … Continue reading →
