Climbing the pre-dawn tor the sound of drumming from inside St Michaels Tower gets louder, hypnotic beats echoing through the night, heralding sunrise. Beltane has always been my favourite festival of the eight fold year, and bar a handful of occasions, since 1989 I've seen the morning in here. This morning had it all going on, atop Tor a broad diverse group of folk drawn together from the quarters to mark sunrise, Rollo leading the traditional Druidic ceremony, and the Cam Valley Morris dancing in May. Perfection. The sun rose to the hoots, howls and cheers of we gathered observers, who where treated to a magnificent sunrise. Beltane blessings /|\
