Didmarton Bluegrass Festival 2023
Didmarton Bluegrass Festival is one of the UK’s premier Bluegrass, Americana and Old-Time music events, held every summer at Kemble Airfield Enterprise Park in greenest Gloucestershire. Now in its 35th year, Didmarton 2023 is hosting another awesome line-up of International and UK artists.
Kemble Airfield Enterprise Park is one of the UK’s quirkiest Festival sites, with vintage bi-planes flying overhead and the guys and gals from the Ogri Motorcycle Club serving a fantastic selection of real ales and ciders at good prices. Experience three days of sensational music on the Main Stage and while away late nights around the bonfire with some really great jam sessions.
The Festival market is great for perusing, with instrument and vintage clothing stalls, beautiful textiles and jewellery, musical knick-knacks and of course the festival merchandise tent with CDs and T-shirts galore. We also have great caterers again this year, including the usual late night burgers and hotdogs around the bonfire.
Visit different areas of the site for bluegrass and old-time instrument workshops, gospel singing, slow jams, and old-time session areas.
Whether you’re new to the Festival or a seasoned attendee, Didmarton has something for all music-lovers and on top of all that, we’ve got real toilets and hot showers! Hurrah!
Didmarton Bluegrass Festival, 30th August - 1st September. Kemble Airfield Enterprise Park, Glos. GL7 6BQ.

DJI Mini 3 Pro: Atti Mode in Rain and 56 mph wind
Переглядів 3,6 тис.Рік тому
Hurricanes Lee and Nigel bring rain and high winds to UK, so I took the opportunity for a speed run at lunch time using my sub-250g DJI Mini 3 Pro. To perform this speed run, I have pre-configured my RC controller by swapping Cine mode with Attitude mode. This removes GPS positioning, effectively preventing the drone braking when it reaches it's "advertised" maxiumum velocity. Don't try this at...

    What a great video. Visited this enigmatic place many times but never considered the water aspect. With water in place in the video it immediately conjured up a vision of how Atlantis is presumed to have looked by some proponents. Graham Hancock and Carl Randallson speak of a technology transfer at the end of the Younger Dryas. Works of this magnitude would require a great effort and resource drain from a small population so there must have been great motivation. Thought provoking video, well presented. Thank you so much, your effort is greatly appreciated. An interesting and plausible interpretation.

    Great review and fresh new insights, which I agree with. Visited Avebury and downs many many times over the past fifty years. For me it’s always the ditch that is the true star as had to be before the stones, it’s like the cake before the candles, the cake is always the star, the candles just highlighting the majesty. Same with the circular ditch it is actually the star. Imo it was the hub for everything in that part of Britain and maybe built to mirror the ring of Brodgar, or vica versa. As so many flint finds in the area demonstrate that they came from everywhere in Britain it certainly was the ancient HQ be it settlement or spiritual. If there ever was an Atlantis society seven thousand years before it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that the generational memory down the years transcended to a giant ditch and moat in tribute.

    i've been to avebury, and the stones are really impressive, and what's more there's no charge, as for stone henge, let them keep it, what right, have they, to move in and treat it as if they own it ? it's been there, for a hell of a time, for free, and the reason there is so little of it left, is because, the farmers destroyed most of it, because it was in the way of farming. and you can bet your life, that the church, goaded them on, (to destroy those pagan artifacts). when they were, trying, to destroy stone henge, one of the stones, fell on the guy pulling it down, and killed him, so the superstitious locals, refused, any attempt, to destroy the rest. my original point, is, that your drone photos, make it look, as if, there are only a few stones ? this is way wrong, there are loads, if you look from ground level

I realy enjoyed Your presentation, easy going and factual without tv bluster :-) I wonder what the water levels were 500 years, or more, earlier when folk lived up at the Windmill, much higher for yonks ... and then came down and made Avebury. Could a people have duggen a moat whilst already flooded? I feel that there is much much more too be gleaned about the place. :-)

      Thank you. After the last ice age 12,000 years ago, sarsen stones were formed in much of southern Britain when surface soil, sand, and gravel were cemented by dissolved silica (quartz sand). What made the stone special was that they resisted crumbling or powdering, in other words, well hard. Which is no doubt why they were the natural choice for these ancient monuments.

    Was the original author of the idea affected by looking at a map of the Pennines, where the River Calder emerges from both sides of the ridge of hills?.. Looking for the source of the River, (Calder), following it up from Hebden Bridge and Myth Holm Royd, pronounced My-Them-Royd, locally, Luddenden's Other Foot, (Luddenden Foot), all along the River Calder, so on up past 'Drippy Bridge' and Calais Lock, (on the Canal), (Callis Lock, real name), and so on up to Todd Morte Den, pronounced Todmdn, locally, (Todd means death in German, and Morte means death in French), there is a fork in the valley system here, turn left to 'Summit' and Rochdale, to the South, or follow the Calder River, on the right fork of the valleys.. And so up and up, and looking at maps, the Calder goes up and up, towards the Spring, then continues down-hill to Burnley... Em, that's what the map is showing, so a closer look with a detailed enough scale of map, to trace the Calder River to its Spring, is looked at. Within a stones throw, almost literally, in easy view from the Spring, there is another Spring, with its stream flowing in the opposite direction to the Calder River, back toward Tod - Todmdn, and Hebden Bridge.. 'Someone having a laugh' naming two Rivers with their Springs almost next to each other, and flowing in opposite directions, the same name, both are named River Calder.. (up and down hills by water, with no locks or water supply, except for two trickles of two Springs). The Calder Valley is / was very aware of the need for a comprehensive extensive water supply system, reservoirs, including the highest beach in all England, a sandy beach in a corner of one of the canal water collection reservoirs, up on the tops of the moors, all around.. Wave a Wand at Wandsdyke, to make boats go up and down hills?..

    "in the centre was no doubt some sort of trading station" ..No doubt? What evidence is there that any stone circles ever had a trading station in the middle? Maybe there was, at Avebury, but sorry, where's the evidence? Excellent work done for this vid, no question, but the title just looks like a click-bait, with no explanation enough what it was that the history books got wrong... The fact that there was flooded terrain, or terrain around that was under water, doesn't in any way say thet Avebury was not a ceremonial location. Why was the ditch of the henge (ditch and bank) 9 Metres deep? is a good question, and books maybe miss the flooding issue, but this doesn't make them getting anything wrong.. ONE point, that the history books say that the henge ditch was all originally joined up all around? not seen that.. Maybe true, but still not up to the dramatic title.. And implying that it was all just a trading centre, on basically an island, just doesn't make sense. "Whatever the site may have been... it's no doubt a most magical sight" is true, and sorry, though, but this hints that 'The Real Truth' titles are usually no such thing.. Just another clik bait line.. And still no evidence included from known excavations that while feesible, the area around Avebury was marshy or flooded.

    Awesome, I was looking at Marlborough and the water courses going to Avesbury and Towards the Thames when this video popped up, I think this is pre historic and this would have been how they brought the stones from Wales to Stonehenge :) Apart from the Orkney Altar Stone, although I think they are trying to debunk that one at mo. We also have tunnels in the Scottish Isles, maybe they are also canals for transporting stones/wares. They have often speculated how they transported many things up and down the hills, I think this is the answer as otherwise they would have got bogged down constantly by our famous misty isle weather. Now I wonder where else this mysterious canal system will pop up. think of the tracks on Malta leading to the sea, or the boats they know from Wales that had three runners like a catamaran-where there is no longer any water only leaving ancient evidence of boats and boat building. Very interesting!

    • @paulberen
      @paulberen 3 місяці тому

      How is this how things were transported up and down hills in boats? For big stones it would have been in dual purpose flat bottomed barges, and so either on rollers, or following Rivers inland, with dam and lock systems relatively simple to install for the purpose, where necessary. So there was no River system available to do this for this ditch / canal? and it looks more important to keep it near as a straight line, rataher than follow River Valleys, is again making look defensive not canal. and except for the unlikely ice age movement factor, it still goes up and down hills, so still just a question mark... Sorry, no rewriting of history going on here, to see..

  • @helenparker1870
    @helenparker1870 4 місяці тому

    You should not assume that the ditch was ever 9m deep relative to the surrounding land. Over the centuries the bank would have eroded and new layers dug out to raise the height again above the relative height of the surrounding land. Modern ditches are cleaned out, but very rarely do people make an effort to clean out right to the bottom of the original cut.

    Yes, thanks for the video, as I should have said in my last comment. I would also have mentioned Thomas Hobbes, one of the most influential political and philosphical thinkers in Europe, who was born in Malmesbury in 1588. He calls himself 'Thomas Hobbes of Malmesbury' in perhaps his most influential book, Leviathan. Certainly an important part of Malmesbury's history.

    lol - no. What you're proposing here is a giant lake, not a river. Such a thing did not exist. Rivers don't pool up like that. They flow and erode, creating deep gullies in the earth as they do so. There's no evidence of what you're proposing at all.
