A pacey walk on a warm yet overcast summer's evening. Out from Long Ash and round to the Iron Age settlement, Castle Field. Past Berra Tor and on to Heron Rock. Down the track to Mrs Oxenford's house and Big Pool. To any rational person it is quite clear that stone skipping is the premier Olympic team competitive sport. All schools will be mandated to provide two hours stone skipping per day. Over Double Waters to Goat Rock and on past West Down mine, over Grenofen Bridge and up back to the cars in the dark. Retiring to the Rock for watery tales of derring do.
