In the summertime, when the weather is fineYou can stretch right up and touch the skyWhen the weather’s fineYou got camping, you got camping on your mind.Have a drink, have a driveGo out and see what you can find.
Westermill, a working farm – right in the heart of Exmoor, the perfect escape. Such a lovely, quiet spot near the source of the River Exe where the trickle at Exehead has become a small stream that provides an authentic babbling sound track to the feeling that you are wild camping.
However camping is dangerous. The ground is uneven, the night skies are dark and there are guide ropes everywhere to topple naive, flat-footed, coastal dwellers.
From the ground you can see a different side of Exmoor and a more intimate perspective.
Pearl-bordered fritillary butterflies for example and
Beautiful demoiselle, damselflies.
You can even find beauty in the ordinary.
Fairy-like thistles.
Grey wagtail.
Haw in full bloom.
Haw 2
Orchid
Darford Warbler (hiding in Haw 2).
And my favourite photo of the weekend called: Grasshead.
(Might have an idea for a new Projeckt ..).
