Today I have mainly been V4.0 (Part 1)

Yep, the Reed hybrid tangential arm and Phasemotion cart with matching SUTS were all new and interesting - not seen before (by me)

Wonder if it would all fit in Uncle’s old railway carriage?

Just sayin’… :wink:

Out on a 10 mile walk with friends. Not as warm as the Costa Blanca, but at least it ended up sunny.
Nice to be out on the moors again

I’m not flexible enough for climbing now, but two nipped up the Headstone

Feeling smug for for acting on my fuel price risk reduction measure ( a full tank and 4 Jerry cans) a couple of weeks ago.

Price just tipped over £8 per gallon!

I did the same a couple of weeks back and had some cnut shouting at me and the Tesco cashier who was bemused & unmoved.

This week’s walk, yesterday, turned out to be less walking and more trimming vegetation back off the path. This quite substantial piece of vegetation, in fact

It’s a full size beech tree (I think) which came down in storm Eunice. It’s not trivially accessible by motor vehicle, so when I went that way a week ago the tree hadn’t been touched. I was in a hurry then and it was getting late so I had to hack my way into the field on the right (through rusty remains of a fence, including barbed wire) and then back onto the path thirty or forty yards further on (more fence, and now undergrowth too).

This week I thought I’d go back and, if it was still there, have a go at it. It was. All I had with me was secateurs (surprisingly useful) and a small bow saw which meant there was no chance of cutting any of the more substantial boughs. And anyway I neither wanted them to fall on me nor to discover that they were actually stopping the whole tree rolling (some certainly were). By the time I’d heaved out everything from twigs up to branches as thick as my calves I was left with this.

You still couldn’t get a horse through (it’s a bridleway) but reasonably flexible pedestrians should have no trouble. I managed it with a rucksack on. A determined biker might be able to lift an ATB through.

(The odd blurring effects in the second pic come from cropping down an image taken in twilight - the phone cam seems to lose resolution in the distance, making the path and the trees there look like they’re disappearing into a parallel universe.)

Passed several fallen trees in the reserve that the Wildlife Trust look after, so I can guess what next week’s jobs will be.

Rolling around the house in a weird dark headspace until I decided to go and take my Dad’s dog for a walk up Kilmar Tor, on Bodmin moor. Feeling a lot better!

Reading the notes before doing a developed vetting interview for a mate tomorrow.

Must not mention that night with the coke and the live goat standing on a small chair in the middle of the room.

Where did you set out from Nick?

Turned up the little lane by the bridge at Berrio Bridge (near North Hill) and headed all the way up till it reaches the open moor. Little carpark there just before the cattle grid. Walked up from there. Was going to walk up Hawk’s Tor, the other side of the lane, but the field was a muddy swamp full of highland cattle who’d not be into the dog. So Kilmar it was, and glad I did.

DV = they already know about the goats and midget porn. They want to check if you lie about it.
