The wind  was really causing quite a lot of noise interference on this stage of the walk but  this is often the case because it is  higher terrain and quite exposed to the elements---BUT I have  saved much of the footage for posterity ---in later videos I really had to prune and edit the videos  while walking  just due to the blustery wind . Anyway I left the North side of the Cheddar Road after  a steep descent and entered The  Middledown Nature Reserve which  I do like to wander thru  on various walks---full of history--old ruins, surface mining evidence in the shape of many grassy  humps and bumps as the old miners gauged out the soil removing huge stones and rocks to reach the lead---an old lime kiln can be found nearby which I did video on the last visit---Also I just love the old stone ruins of perhaps a shepherd's home or  miners cottage---people lived here , worked the land and survived the weathers up here---my imagination always takes over and I can feel their spirits here---luv it---more to follow soon folks
