Location: Compton Dando - visit by fans.

On the 3 August 2019, fans visited Compton Dando, an area where, among other scenes from the series, one of the most iconic episodes of "Arthur of the Britons", "The Challenge", was filmed. From the village pub, the Compton Inn, we took a short walk northwards, crossed a bridge over the River Chew, and turned left onto a grassy track, which looked spine-tingling in its familiarity. Arthur and Kai often galloped along it.



Then into sight came an oh-so-familiar hillside, where Arthur and Kai battled almost to the death, under the astonished gaze of Llud, Garet and Gawain.



When fans first visited this location, with Camera Operator, Roger Pearce, we stayed at the bottom of the hill. This time, we did a bit more investigating, and were surprised at the size of the area.





At the bottom of the hill was the famous muddy bank.





Then it was back to the Compton Inn for lunch.
