during easter, i spent a fabu;ous weekend at the miners arms in priestweston

i'm informed that there'll be another folkie gathering w/e there in sept.

i'd thouroughly recommend anyone looking for a great w/ends folking about to attend. it was brill [+ free!]

the crack on the campsite was great too

the only downside was that the camping field is very slopy & by the time i arrived there, all the flat bits were taken

i didn't notice the full extent of the slopiness until the early hours of sat am, when having been in bed for only about ten minutes, the bed fell over & threw me out.

i then realised that the gound was sloping in two different directions!

giving up on the bed, i laid my mattress on the ground & got in my slepping bag & managed to get a few hours sleep.

when i woke, my feet were freezing, in the night, mattress, bag & me had slid down to the bootom left corner of the tent & my lower legs were sticking outside the door!

after this, i had to secure evreything to the ground with tentpegs

nevertheless all this aside, i had a great time- superb beers + brekkies in the miners arms, wonderful music 'n songs

i'm really looking forward to the next one!
