In fairness there were some trees but I deliberately took pictures without them to make a point.

We also went past White Horse Hill and Dragon Hill which are in that Kate Bush Video.

The village is known for its affluence, expensive homes and location within Cheshire's Golden Triangle.[2][3] Its cafes and designer shops attract Premier League footballers, actors and businesspeople,[4] making it one of the UK's most sought-after places to live outside London.[3

Legend tells of a Mobberley farmer leading a milk-white mare to market in Macclesfield. Along the Edge, at a spot called Thieves Hole, an old man in grey stopped him and offered to buy the horse. The farmer declined, confident of a better price at market. The old man predicted that he would return that evening, unsold, to the same spot.

Failing to sell the horse, the farmer retraced his steps. The old man reappeared and repeated his offer, which was now accepted. Leading the farmer to a spot near Stormy Point, the old man waved a wand, uttered a spell, and revealed iron gates in the rock. Inside was a cavern filled with sleeping men and white horses. The old man, a wizard, paid the farmer from a chest and explained the sleepers would rise if England faced peril. He then sent the astonished farmer home.

I'm not getting this metaphor, is Version the farmer or the wizard or what? The horse?

I once went on a day trip to Alderley Edge

true fact: according to Ann Summers most sex toys in the UK are ordered from this town ( edit: work do drinks have impaired my grammar and spieling, what I mean to say is that Ann Summers receive the highest number of orders of "sex toys" from Alderley Edge, it is a true fact that the ex of my weed dealer told me )

I grew up on Alan Garner novels, so I was keen to find "the cave"

I've mentioned this more than once but I was more than disappointed when we found a 'cave" and it was full of used condoms, discarded empties of Special Brew, crisp bags, and zero sign of the SLEEPING KING WHO WILL SAVE ENGLAND
