The West Gate

Velka's Festival Flour

ROAD · 3 days · easy

Destination: The hill-mill above Cellar Brook (and home again)

The central challenge

A three-day round-trip to a hill-mill for a sack of unfinished-grain flour. The return leg carries the weight -- three stones extra at the shoulder for two days.

Velka's regular miller has run out four days before the festival. The hill-mill above Cellar Brook still grinds. You walk for it. -- P
