Porlock

The weather was again warm and very humid and set off for a short walk straight from a gate in the campsite a short distance from the tent. We started off walking through some woods above Hawk Combe and then near Bucket Hole Farm, a farm lane heading for Ley Hill and the open moor.
Unfortunately we were being pestered by flies if we attempted to stop so we pushed onwards. We reached a small bench and after a minute of waiting there weren't too many flies around so we had a sit down and a snack.
Soon we were joined by a small herd of young cows who followed along the same path as us. The problem was that each cow had a personal swarm of flies and the flies were beginning to show an interest in us as well!

So we packed up quickly and walked quickly off to leave the cows and their flies behind. Soon we were dropping down a wooded path on Halse Combe back to the camp site.
