How it all started...

King Arthur, Lancelot, the Round table, Guinevere, Excalibur, Camelot.. 
The legend of King Arthur and his amazing adventures!! 
As a child I used to love every single movie and book about his legendary tales..
I didn't care if they were real or not, reading it took me to far away lands where magical tales existed and everything was possible..

So one day sitting in a little coffee shop in Camelford (in Cornwall) I picked up the Rough Guide to Cornwall and decided to look up Camelford as I was there haha
The guide said that in Camelford you could visit Arthur's Stone. 
Ok, wait...what? 
Arthur´s stone.. ? The Arthur? King Arthur? Come to think of it, Camelford does sound a lot like Camelot..
I felt like I just discovered a map to a lost civilisation! hahaha 

​

I asked the lady at the cafe where the stone was and she never heard of it hahahaha 
So I showed her the book and she said: Ohh, The Arthurian Centre! It is 5 minutes from here! 

Impromptu adventures are the best!!
