An exciting walk up to Glastonbury tor

Tweet

Last Sunday, which had very changeable weather, after spending the morning in my home town, decided to take an afternoon trip to Glastonbury. Wanted to go to the whole food shop, to buy a few special foods I couldn't get locally, have a wander round the small, independent, new age type shops and lastly, have a bit of exercise and walk up to the Tor. When you see shots of the 'Pyramid' stage at Glastonbury festival on TV, the Tor can sometimes be seen in the background! Today, making my ascent, up the back way, to the Tor, the weather took a turn for the worse, it decided to rain, with the wind deciding to blow quite hard at the same time. It was just as well that I had my wet weather gear with me! You could quite believe you were at sea with the sound of the howling gale!!! The few people that I met on the path were all wrapped up well in their water proofs. Reached the top and found a few folks sheltering in the ruined tower of a church that once stood at the top of the tor. Spent a little while taking in the views through the misty, rainy sodden atmosphere. Started me thinking about the festival that I would be going to at the end of June. Have already bought some welly boots and a rain poncho in preparation! Mud, here I come!!! Going back down the hill (the front way) was needless to say easier. At the bottom made my way to the white spring, which is in a building built into the hill. It was lit only by candles and is windowless. It took a while for my eyes to adjust. It was certainly other worldly. So, tell my about [/i]YOUR[i]exciting walk.....
