Well, you do it once and then repeat it four times for a total of five 
turns!

Incidentally, Carnforth is not a person but the village in Lancashire
where Derek lives.

May I also remind everybody -- I'm beginning to sound like a grouch
these days -- of the standing Strathspey policy not to post dance
instructions without the deviser's explicit consent. (Usually if people
are in a pinch private e-mail is a lot better.) Knowing Derek, I don't
think he'll mind terribly, but I'd like to point out that all the
proceeds from the sales of his books are donated towards cancer
research. And at £1 per book they're terrific value. I should like to
urge everybody to rush out and buy the lot (4 Carnforth Collections and
one called `Simple Highland Dances for Scottish Country Dancers' --
oops, that one's £1.50). SNDC and TACbooks carry them AFAIK.
