This weekend I headed down to Dorset to watch the World Nettle Eating Championship at the Bottle Inn in Marshwood down in Dorset. The event attracted a huge crowd of spectators which was in stark contrast to the numbers found in the bottle inn during the winter months. The competitors did very well this year munching on some of Dorset’s finest nettles. The music went down as well as the ale and despite being mistaken for the paparazzi I had a great time.
