I popped up to the Ashbourne gathering last Sunday (20th July) and this year the weather was almost perfect. Just one or two light showers but not enough to put a damper on things.

I took a few photos (though not as many as I had thought) and some video. Here's a little of each.

Band practice on the green



The highland dancing here included the sailor's hornpipe



Me in the car park. A stiff neck from all the driving perhaps?



The massed bands gather in the main arena



A demonstration of Scottish Country Dancing - delightful
