In usual tradition Briggate (West Yorkshire Womens Morris Dancers) were up on Otley Chevin at 03:30 well before the dawn (and well before the Buttercross Belles!) in order to see in the summer.

It was dark and cold when we arrived, and we started out dancing with only the moonlight for guidance. Gradually the sky began to lighten in the East and by 04:15 when the Belles joined us we were starting to be able to see where we were dancing.

The dawn was met by horn blowing and the singing of Hal An Tow. After a couple more dances it was time to make our way back to Otley for some well deserved breakfast.
