Hare Hunters - Sunday 5.4.15

We spent today on foot, hoping to spot Hares boxing.

We saw one Hare, crouching low in a distant field (the Hare was crouching, not us) - no photo - despite traipsing 10 miles ((15kl).

The local farmer bumped into us as we mooched about ... off piste. Oops. He was fine about our error, even though it's against the law to deviate from public footpaths, in fact he never mentioned it. He did say that the Hare population, where we were chatting, had grown massively in recent years. However, since last year the numbers have plummeted because of the actions of Hare coursers; another illegal activity.  

All this illegal activity and nobody arrested.

Ho-Hum

A Walk From Long Down to Cam Peak - Sunday 15.3.15

The title says it all really.

A local walk around the village MeWally was born in.

For me a stunning area with masses of prehistoric earthworks, burial mounds and hill forts.

For him, a stunning playground, teaming with childhood memories of him and his free range brothers wreaking havoc in a sleepy Cotswold community.

Either way it was dull, windy and freezing which mad our eyes water.
