    Friday night isn’t Friday night without a new walk from the intrepid duo of Dave and Logan. What a wonderful part of the world made all the prettier in the beautiful Spring weather. The potato cave was a surprise. Where would we be without the ubiquitous potato?

      I guess if we had never had spuds then we would never have had crisps!

    The yellow stone you mentioned Dave is the local Hamstone, mined at Ham Hill, west of Yeovil, and most of the surrounding villages have that coloured stone. Indeed, Ham Hill is now a Country Park, well worth anyone's wander, as is a visit to the onsite pub, the Prince of Wales. Perhaps a venture outside your usual area is called for.

      @@DaveFord What always surprises me is that most churches in the UK still seem to be open for anyone to visit. If that were the case here in New Zealand, they would be robbed and vandalised in no time. When I lived in England, no-one thought anything about the fact that churches were unlocked. I guess these days there is a little more worry about whether they are safe, but it's good to see that the practice continues.

    According to the dictionary, 'Nether'means lower or down. Near Andover, we have Over & Nether Wallop.(There is also a Middle Wallop, which is between the two villages) The name here is self explanatory as all three villages are on the Wallop Brook, which rises at Over Wallop. If you haven't been there, it's well worth a look. Very pretty cottages, but only one pub!
    Your walk was very pretty to watch, as I'm not familiar with that area. The potato cave was also interesting and some of the views were outstanding. Great video.

    Not sure Logan is a natural caver! But I loved the footage of him on the Monarch's Way. I remember when I was walking north of Sherbourne the Monarch's Way seemed to double back on its self and I think that was down to the to--ing and fro-ing between Charmouth and Trent. Very interesting and pretty walk with loads of history along the way. Thank you.

    • @DaveFord
      @DaveFord  8 місяців тому +1
