Another PoE update
new maps
The free pdf download of
PoE11 now has a new map with increased clarity and more information. Meanwhile
the e book Pieces of Eight stumbles towards completion and should be available
in time for the Spring.
I have been rambling of late and re discovering some parts of Bodmin Moor. It is bleaky romantic with many relics from time gone by. I read somewhere that Garrow Tor was once the most populated place in Britain. Its southern slope rises gently amongst the remains of circular stone huts. These apparently are Bronze Age dwellings. Post Roman rectangular structures are scattered on the eastern slope and some kind of shrine grows out of the earth at the foot of the older dwellings. Ancient field systems can be made out from the south eastern approaches.
The area is rather desolate now - lots of moorstone and springy turf, an occasional buzzard. Its summit is curiously spooky and I kept wondering if I might meet the Bodmin Beast among its many boulders. Glorious expansive views stretch for miles to the north and I felt pleasantly humbled by nature.
I enjoy rambling because there's not the pressure of time to complete a specified route. And of course, a rambler can't get lost.
