And there he was (or was it she?) just swimming around in a puddle on the track, a Great Diving Beetle, what a treat.
Now this new committee has really got it sorted with a superbly planned and executed walk. Out from Hexworthy on a somewhat moist evening to check on the fairy who is doing pretty well. On to John Bishop's which is fairing less well and Swincombe village. Gently up and round the super taught new wire to the Three Stones and down to the reservoir. Where a most palatial spot was found for a cuppa. Down the track where the beetle was spotted and up to Dolly Treble's. Sort of round the enclosures to pop out right by the cars. Nice time to wend to the Chesterfields for a sit and a pint.
