Another 2 day trek with Moray: from #Tomintoul followed the #RiverAvon upstream for a day and a half to the #FordsOfAvon, then through the #LairigAnLaoigh and round the shoulder of #BynackMore to #Glenmore. Overnight camp by the River Avon, it's great to be able to sit outside the tent at this time of year, before the midgies get going.

🍺⛏️ If you walk near the Henbury gorge today you will see the Giant’s Footprint where Goram stamped his foot in rage when he woke up from his snooze. And if you look out to the Severn Sea from Weston you will see two islands - Steep Holm and Flat Holm - which are the head and shoulders of the poor drowned giant.

🍺⛏️ Goram turned up just in time to see Avona gleefully meandering through Ghyston’s gorge. Well, he was beside himself, and in the heat of the moment he threw himself into the Severn Sea where he quickly drowned. Unfortunately stories involving giants often end in sadness.

#folklore #riversevern #somerset #britishfolklore #englishfolklore #westcountry #storytelling @folklore @bristol #giants #goram #riveravon #bristol

🍺⛏️ So Goram begins his gorge at a place now known as Henbury. And Ghyston starts digging at what is now Clifton. To be fair, it was a really hot day, but Goram drank quite a lot of cider whilst he was working, and eventually he fell asleep in the sun. When he woke up, he discovered that Ghyston had already finished his gorge.

🍺⛏️ Well, I’ve never met a giant but I understand they are argumentative things. Goram and Ghyston couldn’t agree on the best route to dig their channel, so they decided to each dig a separate one. They said that whoever finished first would impress Avona most and win her love. Not that Avona agreed to this.

#folklore #riversevern #somerset #britishfolklore #englishfolklore #westcountry #storytelling @folklore @bristol #giants #goram #riveravon #bristol

🍺⛏️ People who know these things say that Avona was never interested in Goram or Ghyston, but that didn’t stop them thinking they could win her love. One day they came up with an idea to dig a channel through the hills so that the lady of the lake would be free to flow out to the sea if she wanted. That might impress her.

#folklore #riversevern #somerset #britishfolklore #englishfolklore #westcountry #storytelling @folklore @bristol #giants #goram #riveravon #bristol

🍺⛏️ In that lake lived Avona, who was a kind of goddess or spirit of the water. You might call her the lady of the lake. Anyway, there were these two giants who lived on the lake’s shores - Goram and Ghyston - and they really fancied Avona. They were constantly trying to impress her and they argued often as a result.

#folklore #riversevern #somerset #britishfolklore #englishfolklore #westcountry #storytelling @folklore @bristol #giants #goram #riveravon #bristol

🍺⛏️ Before the first humans came to these islands, Britain was inhabited by giants. In those days there was no gorge for the Avon to flow through. And so where Bristol and Bath are today was a huge lake which was stopped from flowing out to sea by a ridge of high ground.

Can I tell you a story? 🍺⛏️ These days the River Avon flows out of the Cotswold hills and down through the cities of Bath and Bristol before cutting its way through a dramatic gorge and out to the Severn Sea. But that isn’t how it always was.
