Well not sure if anybody is interested after Mack's post Lol. 

Up on Dartmoor near Hound Tor is Holwell Lawn about 20 acres of Blurbells just coming out. Cool breeze and misty quite atmospheric Cuckoo calling not far away but no chance of seeing it in the mist.

Right up on Chinkwell Tor 1,503 feet up I spotted this somebody had been splitting Granite how the f**k they would get it down from up there I have no idea no tracks. Rule of thumb Granite weighs one hundredweight a cubic foot.

That line of holes is about six foot long christ know what that chunk would weigh.

Once had a days hunting on dartmoor. We were told to sit on a big mound of stones with a wall around it. Apparently it was built a long time ago to keep foxes in. Foxes came from all directions that day trying to get into it and we had to try and turn em off it.

Some bit of country side Dartmoor.

Never had a problem with the old ground clearing piles on the top often more than one would slip out. We had a close one once down near the river in oak woods though where the boulders are as big as cars they were down a long way and speaking. To get them out we geed them up by all firing shots and shouting as if one had bolted they came out absolutely knackered. Think if we hadn't got them out when we did most would not have got out and there was no way in.

Sandstone path and raised patio, the lad has shown how he wanted the path putting down, I told him there’s to many straight joints but it’s what he wants and it’s my mates job so sod it? it’s got to be cut both sides so it snakes through the garden, lovely people to work for, he’s already asked if I want paying before I’ve finished, I did all the under pinning here and the foundations for the extension, so the Polish builders could start, what a job they have done ?, he paid 330k for the house, 120k for the extension and it’s just been valued at 680k, not a bad return on your investment, he’s a criminal defence lawyer so well worth knowing, his dad is a catholic priest so the may of been some forward planning with his career choice ??
