Winter Solstice 2016

Having dropped Raye in town I looked for a nearby undiscovered place!  Ventured to Darley Abbey and found a ruin of part of the Abbey. Checking the rods I found a leyline running approx. EW.
Then took path round the nearby church to the hermitage. This place was very similar to Anchor church at Ingleby, but in that case the hermit was an anchorite and also it was in front of a stream, whereas here it was on higher ground. Again found a leyline EW, but not directly in line with the Abbey. I wonder if I had found a helix ley (like Michael and Mary ley).

Rowen...found ok, nowhere to park so decided to have a drink at pub which had car park. Weather nice too. Then to Capel Scion. Amazing seating...pews like auditorium, great. Had a look round, nice church. Got passports stamped. Then started drive to llangelynnin. Drove around a bit, no go. Stopped in car, me a little walk, still no go. Decided to input church again...noticed option for "old church". Brill, found it. But only car park. Long walk round through wet areas of fields, and climb. Found! Realized congregation in (found to be for Harvest Festival). Had a sing then realised not brought passport books! After 20m returned. R already getting to know everybody.

Viewed church after walk from car. No passport stamps. Me got car, parked in dodgy place, walked ...

Drove to Llangernyw, the church is called St Digain with whitewashed walls but nice looking. Church open, found pilgrim stamp inside. Rods crossed all over on pathway.                   On to Eglwysbach to St Martin church. Did not enter church as stamp in porch. Also on display various jams so stamped passports then headed off.

Straight to Penygroes...art gallery open but man said passport moved to lych gate about a mile down the road! Looked at nearby church, no sign of passport, gave up! (had been closed on last visit!) Decided not to try Pant Gwyn again, unable to find stamp at last visit, cottage looked derelict)...near Maes Eilen. On to Trefor. Premier supermarket with pleasant man who stamped passports for us. Then on to Pistyll. At Pistyll (realised welsh for waterfall...nice one by St. Bueno church!). Passport stamp inside church, R donated £10! Really picturesque place with church and waterfall.
