I spent a lovely, relaxed afternoon making Excalibur icons and picspam. Will post those tomorrow.
Ok, folks, here's the rest of my Glastonbury pics. Want to get them up before dinner as my internet time will have run out by the time I get back.
After the Abbey I headed towards the tor but decided to go back to my hotel room first and dump a load of stuff. It was too warm for a coat and I had a load of stuff in my bag that I didn't need and didn't fancy lugging up to the top.
Stopped off at The Chalice Well on the way back as
richandme and
bogwitch had both recommended it. Embarassingly they don't take any form of plastic there and I had the total sum of about £1.50 in cash on me. The lovely lady at the desk let me in for free. I thanked her profusely.
I definitely chose the right time of year to go. My allergies would have been playing hell with me if I'd gone in the summer when all the flowers were in full bloom.
After that it was onwards and upward to the tor

Walking to the tor

For all you Sharpe fans ;)

Apparently the water has a lot of iron in it which is why the rocks have turned red


They let you drink the water so I thought I'd give it a try. It tasted...odd...but not unpleasant. Had two glasses so it can't have been that bad




The well

They have little seating areas like this all over. I'm telling you, if I hadn't wanted to get to the top of the tor before the rain came I'd have stayed there all day.

The drinking area


At the base of the tor

Starting the ascent

You're quite high up before you even start climbing

Halfway up

Still halfway up

A bit closer

I made it!

The views were amazing even on an overcast day

Me at the top with my exploding hair

And round the other side we get the windswept look

Inside looking up

For your info

Preparing to head back down

Cream tea and fanfic for lunch

My hotel from the outside
