The Greyweathers

close

Well, don't know why I'm posting this, but last year at this time a friend and I spent a week traipsing about Dartmoor National Park with an OS map, and a compass.

Man, on one day we found the Greyweathers (which has to be one of the coolest spots going in terms of atmosphere), and we pitched our tent right in the middle of the eastern circle.

There were hardly any clouds around that night, the moon and stars were out in full.

Wow, it had to be one of the better nights of my life for sure.

Highly recommended as a place to lay your head for an evening. I had excellent dreams as well!

Sorry, my self-indulgent tale is over, and we now return you to your regularly scheduled programme.

take care,

scott

Hey great story Scott, here's one from another;

I was with some friends in Dartmoor (my favourite place in the world as it happens) many years ago, a village called Buckland in the Moor, surrounded by the most beautiful wooded combes and blue skies. I went trotting on ahead down the lane (all the woods were closed off unless you were a 'permit' holder??!!??which freaked me out more than a little), and as I rounded a bend and looked down towards the river, I saw a fleeting glimpse of a woman, all in white, she seemed to be beckoning. I still don't know if I imagined it or not. Later that day spent time with the coolest guy there discussing the book he had written and had published regarding Yew Trees, andd their sacred mythology/symbolism. Dartmoor, there is more there than are dreamed of in all of our philosophies?

Thanks for the memories Scott7,

Morfe
