Hi readers! Am yo all roight?
This is my first post in ages. Today I rode to Abbot's Bromley in darkest Staffordshire, for today was the day of the Horn Dance, a traditional dance enacted here since the 13th century. I have been intending to see this event ever since I we have lived in the Midlands and at last I was able to. I was not disappointed: neither the dancing nor the playing were particularly memorable, but it was impossible not to feel a sense of tradition going back centuries. Everyone, performers and onlookers alike, were having a good time. I used National Cycle Route 54 from Derby to get as far as Dunstall, then quiet country lanes. Total distance: 130 km
