We're not dancing out this week as it's going to take a few days to get over the immense amount of morris dancing we did over the weekend at the Great Western Morris 50th anniversary celebrations. ![]()

In the meantime, here are some more photos. These ones are from our first spot on Saturday in Chagford. We got a couple of dances in before the heavens opened!![]()

What a weekend! Great Western Morris 50th anniversary tour. We danced in rain and sunshine and even in the wind on top of Haytor. Here are a few photos to start with, I'm sure there will be more to come.![]()

@The World Famous Hammersmith Morris Men
We had a wonderful dance out with Great Western Morris at The Ley Arms last Wednesday. Thanks to Crispin and Andy who each helped us make up the numbers for a couple of our 12 person dances. Here's Crispin dancing opposite his Mum, Steph, in Morris Reel after flying over from USA and not having slept for about 24 hours! He didn't actually come all that way just to help us out with Morris Reel though. This weekend is the Great Western Morris 50th Anniversary Weekend and we're all getting ready to go to the campsite this afternoon, then dancing around Dartmoor on Saturday and Exeter on Sunday 🌄
Seven on us squeezed into the car earlier on our way to The Ley Arms! Some good car sharing.
Tomorrow we are dancing at The Ley Arms, Kenn with Great Western Morris from 8pm 🌄
