Notes
1
1s are facing clockwise, 2s counter-clockwise
2
The move in B2 5-8 is often called a 'zig-zag'
3
The dance is based on John Chapman's dance Godfrey's Galop, the A1/A2 of which are based on the dance Quorndon Hill. I tinkered with the B1 and B2 to get a better flow. B1 1-4 was originally with partner and B2 5-8 was change places arching.
