After slight technical difficulties, we resume. Now still less than two weeks out of date yay! a bit further behind, but never mind, eh?
If I can remember what the vickers I was actually going to be going on about....????
Er...
Ummmmm
Oh yes, a trip up on t'Moor with t'Folks and t'Canis horribilis salivatus, where we Defied the Rain, Crossed the River and Were Rewarded.
Oh yes.
A similar route to one I took earlier in the year, we went from Whiteworks to the Hingston Hill Row, then had lunch at Combeshead Tor, before passing Eylesbarrow Mine to Higher Hartor Tor, stopping for a cuppa in some workings, then heading back up the Crystal Path.
Simples, yes?
Well, I started out a bit - no not accurate - a LOT rainier than the lying forecast told. But we had waterproofs and determination and so we persevered. We got past frisky coobeasties [frisky in 'considering violence', not anything x-rated...], over boggy ground, and even defeated a 'much larger than any previous time I crossed it' watercourse.
Let's have some pics, shall we?
Hingstone Hill
Not the longest or tallest row on t'Moor, but my favourite.
The weather had started to behave by this point!
Earlier...
Looking at Leather Tor
Later...
Sheeeepstor from
Combeshead Tor
And, oh yes, that title;
"Flapjack!"
Just the one, near the Plym.
Nearby, we found
Poor Shrew
Happy Sexton Beetle
[plus mite!]
And as it is getting on for that time of year [well, it was when we were out, bit more like frickin' July now...], a few fungi!
Goblet Waxcap
Pink Waxcap
Bell-shaped Mottlegill
Egghead Mottlegill
Mostly dung species up there, but a few waxcaps were nice to find.
And finally,
Arse!
:)
Ahem.
Be Seeing You...
