Winter Solstice 2002

Breedon-on-the-Hill, Derby
(This is not one of our photo's!) We went to Breedon because of work restrictions, as it is close to home. Nevertheless, this was not a casual choice, as it is quite a significant landmark on the Melbourne horizon, and is the crossing point for several ley-lines.

Straight to St Winefrides Well. Again, this time I bathed in the Well waters. Swam length...VERY cold but amazing. This time Raye took  video of the divining rods. They crossed everywhere but then as I approached the back of the well they both began to twirl manically! Never experienced this before. Started on pilgrimage...uphill for ages. Eventually arrived at Pentasaph Monastery at 16:15. Toilet, Raye stamped passport...box by car park sign. Then taxi back to Monastry, staying overnight.

Went a bit later for Equinox but wanted to prepare for Summer Solstice with Raye. The idea being that we will start the first phase of the 130 plus miles from Basingwerk Abbey for Bardsey Island. Walked up from Car Park to Basingwerk Abbey. Checked it out. Pleasant and tranquill ruin. Will check with rods next time. Then went to The Information Centre. Bought two booklets to be stamped on journey later. The Abbey was founded in 1131. The oldest part is the 12th century chapter house, with the remains of the benches where the Cistercian monks sat for daily readings. The usually silent monks were allowed to speak in the parlour nearby.
