Dancing on the top of a hill at 6am? What woosses.

In Bedfordshire we're waiting for sunrise & are up the top of the hill at Katherine's Cross Ampthill, by 5.20am ready for the sunrise.

Seriously though, the tradition of dancing the May in of course has now been 'rationalised', like so many other things we do that we do in folk today, there must be a traditional reason for doing something, instead of just going & doing it because you simply enjoy it & it is there to be done.

Why not just go out & do whatever is your enjoyment.

If we have a team we go out more or less any time we're asked, next weekend it's for a local Xmas fair, then we usually do Boxing Day with the Mummers, then Plough Monday as well. Do we care about not being 'Cotswold Morris PC'? Not on your Nellie. We don't do it for academic reasons I'm afraid but for the enjoyment.

As for fleecing the tourists, the usual audience we have are all the usual stalwarts from the area, partners & a few bemused early morning dog walkers & joggers.
