Festival Friday

I set off for the Folk Festival at Masham in Yorkshire. I got onto the M1 and the traffic was static.  My sat nav informed me that the motorway was closed, there had been an accident.  I sat in my car in the heat for an hour and a half, not daring to drink anything as there were no facilities! Eventually we got going again and I got to Masham in five and a half hours instead of the predicted three (it did incluse a short Services stop).

I put my tent up on the field (not a proper campsite) which was grass covered Medieval Ridge and Furrow poughing (parallel ridges and depressions for ploughing. I did my best to get the tent in a furrow but it still wasn't flat!

Band #2 were there (not performing) and we took food to share together (Blip). My contribution was a cake.

We then walked through the churchyard to the town square.  It hadn't been mowed and the wild flowers were beautiful (blip). We played music with others outside a pub then in the beer garden at the Black Sheep Brewery (blip). Then went to the town hall for the late night session.
