Liv, Vanessa, Ann and Di... Di was
in charge this day, since Sarah had deserted us in favour of visiting
relatives. What an excuse. Anyway, that's why Di is a bit apart from the
other three, to preserve her authority and maintain control. She also
wore The Whistle, on temporary loan from Sarah. |

 |
Severn Tunnel Junction... being danced on a stiffer gradient
than First Great Western could ever manage.
|
Severn Tunnel Junction... the dance-off.
Down hill, as befits a well organised morris side. |
 |
 |
Down Parade... Alan and Cedric using the gradient to help them
corner at great speed
|
Down Parade again... Alan, Cedric
and Hugh are seen here dancing backwards at such speed that their
tassel coats are being flattened in the slipstream. Was ever such a feat
performed before?. |
 |
 |
Down Parade again.... The said three "gentlemen" are
flat on the floor, hoping for a glimpse of a well turned ankle or six.
|
Not quite sure of the dance... but
its a good opportunity to check out Rob's costume. And either he's moving,
or its a very blustery day. |
 |
 |
Rob still moving - but has he been left behind, or is it a solo?
|
Liv and Rob... plus others, doing
Dilwyn. Definitely moving, just look at the speed of those sticks. |
 |
 |
Dilwyn again... just hope the Green Man can see out sufficiently
well to clash sticks with his partner, rather than clash heads.
|
Hugh and Roger... then Jan, Doc,
Rob. This is obviously a difficult move, strangling Roger, and so the
Green Man had to remove his headdress to perform accurately in time to
the music.. |
 |
 |
Winterbourn Down Stick... Green Man here seems to be leaking
his stuffing at an unsustainable rate. Will he make it to the last spot
of the day?
|
Craven Stomp... Cedric, Jan, Angela and Rob doing a right hand star. |
 |
 |
Carol and Doc... belting the living daylights out of each other's
stick. In perfect time to the music, naturally. None of your random violence
here.
|
Rob and Alan... behaving more decorously,
though it looks like 2 to 1 against Angela. Shame on you, gentlemen.. |
 |
 |
Roger cornering fast... Probably thinks he's a pendolino. Angela
reckons you can get by without making such a fuss while still maintaining
her balance.
|
Carol and Doc... still slogging
it out. How come the other three couples can get by so peaceably? |
 |
 |
Salmon Tails... Roger and Angela, Vanessa and Jan
|
Dilwyn, the quiet bit... You can
tell its quiet, can't you. I mean I can't hear anything so it must be.Carol
and Helen can't even hear their sticks clashing.. |
 |
 |
Down Parade. The End... Vanessa, Helen and Liv balancing precariously
while they receive Thunderous Applause
|
