Cheddar - The Black Rock

Uffcombe Village - The swords of Wayland
Thursday, August 18th 2005

It was getting late already until we reached Cheddar. This is just next to Draycott where we have been the previous year. So we kind of knew the area and didn't get lost for a change. ;o)

It was after 6 pm when we got there which turned out to be rather lucky as the Gorge (a cave where the 'cheddar man' was found once and now is a major tourist attraction) closes at 6. So all the people had already gone for the day and we had the place almost for ourselves.

You recognise it at once. It is really impressing. Jutta is sitting on the same rock as Much and Tuck. On the DVD you can even see a little twig... which is now a tree. Time flies..... ;o)
From up there you have a very nice view across the 'valley' to the other side... you almost expect some weird guys on horses showing up every moment. ;o)
You can't really see it in the pictures but it was getting really grey and a bit foggy... very nice atmosphere.
This was this years RoS holiday for Jutta and myself.
Now there are only few locations left to complete our collection - St. Michaels Mount, Kidwelly Castle, Alnwick Castle...
As they are quite far away from me, I think I have to take some weekend trips there... sometime. I'll let you know, as soon as I have the pictures online. ;o)
