I’m not buying a gross plastic chain cleaner when I’ve got a perfectly good Thatchers can, knife, reusable zip tie, and an old bamboo toothbrush. #WestCountry #BikeHack #reuse

Is anyone else in the west of the UK keeping a worried eye on the weather? I'm seeing a bigger than usual difference between wind speed and gust speed in the met office forecast and am not currently experiencing the forecasted gusts. Looks like it will be coming from the north during the peak too, which is unusual. Interested to hear anyone else's thoughts. #UK #weather #metoffice #southwest #westcountry #wales #gloucestershire #wiltshire #somerset #devon #dorset #cornwall #Severn #bristol

My #Somerset husband just tried to ask the #Sky Q box to search for “Scotland’s greatest escapes”. It thought he said “surprised potatoes” 😜 We are now aching with laughing and I’ve still got tears running down my face. #VoiceControl #Accents #WestCountry #England #Scotland #OoArr

This #Devon walk is a a bit different. You need to time it carefully with the tide but it gives a different perspective on Salcombe via exploration of Batson and Blanksmill creeks. For details, see https://bit.ly/3W4cNmw

🍺⛏️ 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.

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

🍺⛏️ 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.

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

🍺⛏️ 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.

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

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.

🪱🐉 The young woman woke up as the log started to writhe and wriggle towards Cheddar Gorge with her on it. Without realising what it was, she took out her axe and cleft the Werm in two. One half wiggled south towards Taunton and the other north towards Portishead. The villagers were safe now. Most people say the Werm is dead. But some say one half survived. Have you seen the GURT WERM? 👀

🪱🐉 She was one of those people who is prepared for all eventualities: a trug for foraged fruit, an axe for firewood, and a jug to fill with local cyder at any opportunity. Well, what she was not prepared for was the Gurt Werm. And so after a hot afternoon’s walking and berry-picking she happily had a little snooze on a huge log. As thick as a 500 year old oak, they say.

🪱🐉 Many months had passed since the sad day that woman was snapped by the Werm. Myrtleberry season was approaching, but the villagers had no intention of tempting fate. Unfortunately, news of the Werm had not reached as far as Bristol, and one sunny afternoon a young Bristolian wanderer found herself up on the Mendip feeling very lucky to have found so many unpicked myrtleberries.

🪱🐉 The Werm slithered back down to its cave and ate the woman. Over the coming months farmers reported sheep and cows being taken off by the Gurt Werm. Soghtings commonly described it as being as thick as a 500 year old oak. Months went by. The lcoals stayed away from the hills and away from the gorge. They were scared but safe in their village. Or so they thought.

🪱🐉 But one day those rumours became a bit more solid. It was coming to the end of myrtleberry season and so locals were busy collecting the last of those delicious wild blueberries up on the Mendip hills. But that was brought to a sharp end when the GURT WERM one day crawled up out of a gorge and grabbed a woman in its jaws in front of eight other berry pickers.
