NOTHING RECONNECTS YOU WITH THE NATURAL WORLD LIKE LEAPING NAKED OFF A JETTY
“Grab a symbolic branch and we will walk up to the ire pit.”
Earlier in the day we had passed Stonehenge, but this had the promise of being an equally pagan way to celebrate the Solstice. I picked a stick from the pile and we made our way out of Bantham village along the path up to the top of the dunes looking out over Burgh Island. Admittedly the branch was more of a stick, but walking into the sunset on the longest day of the year set the tone nicely for a weekend of adventure and getting back to nature.
