A wonderful day’s walk in perfect conditions atop Burrator Reservoir with the spring buds about to pop and the first lambs playing poker in the fields. Norsworthy, then Crazy Well, Cramber and the small soggy pool beyond. Coffee there – with skylarks soaring above. Then downhill to the river and the exercise of democracy on a sunny mid-morning. Thus west along the river up into the old tin workings, past the old farm and all back in time for a crowded lunch in the sunshine outside the Royal Oak. Only cloud ? The Burrator carnage being created by forestry lorries and the new car park ( ??? ) going in by Lowery overlooking the northern shore. Blimey !
That can’t be right, surely ??
