And appropriately the May blossom was in full bloom. From Norsworthy past the wonderful Flags and Ragged Robin up the lane to Kingsett. Where the beech is in full leaf. Onward to Roundepark, through all the hut circles to drop down Raddick Lane to Keaglesborough Mine and the wheel pits. Time to head along to the potato cave and then back for a cuppa at Lether Tor Bridge. Where the midges were gently trying to assert themselves. To the farm and cist and back. To a totally empty Royal Oak where, we were reliably informed, there has been something of a schism with the locals.
