Well they certainly were going at it! Busy, busy, busy chopping down trees, trimming and cutting, sorting and lifting.
In fact just as busy, busy, busy as us as we set off from Norsworthy Bridge on a fine, calm, warm, autumnal morning. Making our way through the arboretum where the red dots may mean more trees to come down. Up and round the track by Roughtor Plantation to find at least two of the many Roughtors. Lots of fungi around as we made our way to the stile by the mine shaft. Out along and then down to cross Narrator Brook and up by the adit to the camp site. The potato cave made a fine place for a cuppa. Round Combeshead and out to the magic stone, which still works its magic. Steadily down to the ancient longhouse then across Newleycombe by the bridge that isn't to Kingsett. Out to the track and by Keaglesborough to Lether Tor Bridge where the lumberjacks and jills were in full swing. Just time to fit in the magnificent Norsworthy Blowing House before retiring for prompt service at the Royal Oak.
Busy, busy, busy.
