TNA Tour to Bleasdale Stone Circle & Fairy Holes

I'll stick some photo's on for those that were there, so will not waste too many words.
Photograph taken at 07:25 this morning in my back garden

then onto Bleasdale Circle see :- http://teddytourteas.blogspot.com/2011/06/bleasdale-stone-circle.html and set up the Bender and got the crinkle cut chips on

Had a look around and on full zoom you can see Blackpool Tower

A Cleg landed on the tarp ridge - Nice Eyes!

The crew landed, and Teddy served Crinkle cut chips with Nandoes Perrie Perrie Ketchup and a French stick, buttered rounds, the Bear had a South African Pinotage I had a drip Lavazza Coffee

It was then off to Fair Oak House at SD 64879 46013

and follow the green dots on the map left by :-

and then into the wood

which for us "old buggers" was on a one in stupid slope

At the Fairy Holes

Watch out Trolls about

Teddy plays with Ectoplasm

Where am I ? Who am I ? It's all gone black ! BUMP!

Phew! Daylight

 Set off back

It gets steeper!

North Face of the wood

the promised Sedan Chair never showed up !

Coffee for some, Oxygen for others but it's all downhill from here

Well this is the most folk I've seen in one go for years ! and I enjoyed it so although I've posted this on the TNA forum I thought I'd copy to the Blog and share.
cheers all Danny
for Mark a Mark

Best time to cut a stick ?

"When tha see's Bugger !"
In the last post  http://teddytourteas.blogspot.com/2011/06/bleasdale-stone-circle.html John from the USA commented that I seemed to have a new stick and I replied :-

Hi John in the US of A it's my Sunday or best stick the wood's Hazel and as it's grown a Honeysuckle creeper as grow up it, over a few years, and has squeezed into it. I spotted it growing on Arnside Knott a few years ago and as they say "when's the best time to cut a stick" with the answer "when tha sees bugger !" the top's a piece of deer antler just thought it was the right stick for a stone circle cheers Danny

it's funny the map ref.says Mark this being Beating the Bounds land I wonder if he had his eye on it but was waiting for the right time to cut it ? Sorry there Mark !

 I've just dragged some of the stick pile out of the "shed" this morning to add here

sometimes when out, I've to stop looking as if I get "the stick head on" I don't see anything else all day.

just thought I'd share cheers all Danny
