Winster Carnival

It was the day of Winster Carnival at the end of Wakes week and we had Steve and Becca staying for the weekend.
Luckily the weather was excellent and after Steve and Becca arrived and we'd had lunch, we had a wander around Main Street, which was closed from 13:30 to 17:30 for the Carnival. There were various stalls, a brass band (Ashbourne Town Band) and, of course, Morris Men dancing.
Then after having a walk around the village via the church, Oddo and the Portway track, where we bumped into Brian Woodall and his wife in his camper having sandwiches. We dropped back down past Wyns Tor and then after walking down East Bank as we approached the Old Bowling Green we watched the Morris Men for a while and had a pint in the pub.
