last week I was lucky enough to get down to my home stamping ground again for a day-out bimble. I was drug up on Exmoor .

We set off from Webber's Post and headed down to Cloutsham to walk along the Horner Water.

The rain kept off and the autumn colours were wonderful. Along the way we passed a natural totem pole. It's been there a while now and every year it's different as different fungi grow on it.

We found some amazing fungi growing on other logs too. I know practically nothing of fungi so would be grateful if them as do could identify
This one is very weird !!!

This waterfall is always gorgeous, even when it's very dry in the summer it still has a bit of a flow. Going well today

We were hunting for some ancient alders from the Ancient Tree Forum and here they are, down near the packhorse bridge end of the valley ...

I got a bit of a shock when I arrived on the Moor though ... went to my favourite spot in the whole wide world - Tarr Steps - to find the recent storms had taken a bite out of the clapper bridge !!!

When the Lymouth flood happened, way back when, it took a lot of the bridge down then so when they put it back they numbered all the stones, it shouldn't be too hard to put this one span back now. My friends tell me it happened last winter too ... It's very weird to me not to be able to cross over :yikes:
Gotta get back ... gotta get back ... that land feeds me soooo well
