Weathering?…

*

If Giants…

*

*

Could construct…

*

*

Balance-Stones…

*

*

They would look a little like this…

*

And for those still in need of perspective…

‘TAKE A LOOK AT THESE HANDS’…

If these stone structures are produced by ‘nature’s hand’,

it may be salutory to consider ‘modern man’s hand’ in contrast,

which has, by quarrying, made a ‘bit of a mess’ of what was once

a ‘hill-fort’ possessing as much beauty as that of Carn les Boel or Carl Wark.

Weather!…

*

Getting to the Hurlers proved easy enough…

*

*

Clustered, as they were, around the extremities of Bodmin Moor…

*

*

But the weather closed in…

*

*

Almost as soon as we set foot to turf…

*

*

Which made the prospect of a climb up to the Cheesewring, and Stowe’s Pound, a decidely unlikely event…

*

*

We walked as far as we could before caution proved the better part of valour…

*

*

And then, the sun came out…

*

Somebody, somewhere, muttered something about stones and humour.
