Gordon joins the Morris men. The one on the left doesn't look too happy about it.
OK, this wasn't strictly campering but we did drive the van up to 
Uppermill and stay over night (at Mo's flat). The Rushcart was quite a spectacle. 100s of morris men pulling a rushcart around the Saddleworth villages with a "jockey" on the top. Then regular stops for ale and dancing. We followed them round to 3 places and took a hip flask to help us along. The morris men come from all over the UK. It has a really pagan feeling. Great Stuff. And thanks to Mo for putting us up.
