With rest days and delays (snow blocked his way at Bury St Edmunds) the journey, celebrated in Kemp's 'Nine Daies Wonder,' took a month. (In 2000 a Morris team danced a day off Kemp's record). I was wondering - 1. Who were the Morris Team in 2000 who beat Kemp's record ? 2. What is the record for Long Distance Morris Dancing? |
