Nice one Foxy, the outhouse in the sky (pic 11) is great, looks like a great explore

Cheers, Al. That's my fave photo out of the whole lot, oddly enough!
I'm planning another trip out to Colyton this week sometime...I'll see if I can get permission to take pics of the walkways from up top...if I can conquer my extreme fear of heights!

Ah, only just saw your post, TH. Directions on the way in a bit.
Cheers.

EDIT: My computer doesn't like your email addy for some reason! Lol. So I'll send it via pm. If you'll bear with me...I'm a bit snowed-under at the mo, so it'll be later rather than sooner by the time I've sorted it out. My poor old puter does it's best but I can't do more than one or two things at a time as it runs out of memory!

ANOTHER EDIT: Arghhh! Just noticed you can't pm yet. Tell you what, if you go into my profile and click on contacts, you can send me an email then I can reply with the map/directions, etc.

Ok will do - ill use my work email in future then haha

[Edit]it appears as though i cant do that either - no email address available in your contact info. Sorry for messing you about, it there any chance you could try [email protected] - its one i dont use really, and i dont really want to publish me work email on the web as its got my full name in it haha

Really like the pics, good to see an old industry still being worked the 'old' way

 

[sheep21]

now this really IS Living History!

 

[Foxylady]

Thanks, chaps. I absolutely agree...it's nice to see that some old skills haven't died out and are still being passed on.

Well, what can i say Foxylady?

What a truly divine site! Complimented perfectly by a marvelous set of photographs and report

I am truly envious of you on this one, i would love a wander around there! followed by a nice pub lunch me thinks very, very good indeed.

Sorry i have taken a while to read the post, not been on for a while, been resting up after my accident the other week feeling really sorry for myself and not even surfing the web....

Are you okay, nutnut? Sorry to hear you had an accident. Hope you're doing okay now.
Thankyou very much for the lovely comments.
It never ceases to amaze me how many hidden gems there are around here. Everytime I think I've covered everything, another stroll down an unexplored road or lane brings something else to light! Walking ftw!
Ooh, pub lunch! Sounds ideal!

 

[nutnut]

We will be down your way at some point during the summer (if we have one this year?) for a spot of camping, so will have to do the explore 'n' pub lunch with you, be a giggle will keep you informed.

Check this if you haven't seen it already?

My street/web cred has just gone out the window! Nice "zips" though, hey? I think, at the time i must have removed the 30 from my age and settled for being a 6 year old

 

[Foxylady]

Oh, cool! Look forward to it, nutnut.
Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch! I didn't realise who that was as I always skim over the pics very quickly as I don't have the stomach for stuff like that! Although I do admit to laughing at how it was done!
Hope you're getting over it okay.

Very interesting site, and good report!

 

[Foxylady]

Thanks, Spartacus.
