Tonight I spent the evening at a new location known as
Agglestone Rock.
In local myth it's apparently known as the Devil's Nightcap due to a story that involves the Devil tossing his nightcap towards Corfe Castle and missing. (Because the Devil can never succeed right?)
Apparently it toppled at somepoint and was previously known as the Devil's Anvil, for resembling... an anvil I guess.
I don't think there is a standing stone anywhere in the UK that doesn't have a story involving a devil of some sort.
The site itself is pretty easy to access, a fifteen minute walk I'd guess. The only slightly worrying part is that you have to walk right in front of a golf hole. Thankfully I was passing at night time but in the daytime you'd run the risk of dodging golf-balls, there's another way round that I took unintentionally thankfully.
Anyway my primary goal of the evening was not to scout Agglestone as a location, instead, it was to trial a new bit of lighting I bought recently. Some battery powered fairy-lights. The plan being that I could spin them about and create some man-made spirals to mirror the stars that will trail above.
Feel free to judge for yourself on how that worked out.
