Return to Ludd's Church (a long time past!)

I remember visiting Ludd's Church when I was at school. It's an open cave in the Peak District near to the Roaches. Something to do with the Reformation and having to go to Mass in secret (history was never my strong point!). You can go to http://www.bosleyco.org.uk/Ludds(~1.htm

to read the legend of the church.

Anyway, I went there again last Saturday with Martin and the two Marks for a morning walk. Got a bit rainy half way round but that made the pub lunch taste that much better. The atmosphere in the church was damp and a bit spooky especially if you stayed there alone for a few minutes. Gave me a couple of new ideas for a short story (see there is always a link to writing!).

Also wandered by Hanging Rock and you can see the Roaches from the lower path. We parked at Wincle and had lunch at the Ship - well recommeded baguettes! (and beer).

and some nice tourists have actually made a video and put it on Youtube so here it is http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JrDZM8Ar45M

Come on Chris, this is a month old. Some of us have no lives other than looking at your blog. You must have done something since then. Have you been shopping, or cut the lawn? We want to know about it. Pictures too. You'll have your blogging badge taken off you soon.
