When walking earlier  on the North Side of Cheddar Gorge I could see in the distance the tall trees of Black Rock Wood-----Now in  Part II video I have arrived at this little wood which I call 'Hobbit Wood' because of it peace--its quaintness and eccentricity...It's a part of one of several nature trails designed  for people and I have included a section into my own walk---it feels a bit spooky with its skinny gnarled trees and  weird rock faces---I half expect a Hobbit, dwarf or Elf to appear before me as I wander the narrow pathways that meander thru the wood---my imagination is great on such occasions and turns the walk here magical with an awareness that it has history and mystery  over Millennia  with the Romans, the Saxons, the Victorians and their  desire to mine and quarry for its jewels.......This whole area has been used in film sets e.g Poldark in the last few years used the Quarry area as a back drop----the actors wandering here to get the feel for the place------just imagine walking here at night--what a great experience that would be---scary but with a totally different perspective and experience--different feelings of  'Sound & Vision'----extending one's senses and pushing  emotions like greater awareness, fear and joy to greater limits as the Bats emerge, the creatures of the night emerge---all the senses of sight, smell and vision and touch tuned into a very different scene........but for now I potter along reflecting happily in the light..............Part III to follow soon with views of the Alpacas
