Post pub run hangovers had abated sufficiently for a good turn out for the solstice run despite an early start.
Unfortunately no virgins were forthcoming and my back up human sacrifice had managed to break her knee cap 2 days ago so couldn’t make it. There were rumours that goats may have been ritually violated instead but I couldn’t possibly comment.
We necked some mulled wine & Yule logs, set up a makeshift altar and made wishes for the next year. On cue a nacreous cloud appeared in the heavens – A SIGN!! Of something…..
It was too windy to linger for long, some druids and acolytes went home but the rest of us continued over another couple of hills but resisted the temptation of a solstice skinny dip in Bonaly reservoir.
Thanks to everyone who came!
