Looker update 1pm

 Tuesday 20/02/2024

First time out around Long Valley. Excuse me if I ramble on a tad too much as this is my first Blog attempt.

Start:1.00pm

End: 2.15pm

Weather: Overcast with cloud and occasional sun creeping through the clouds.

Visibility was good.

Had a good search on the tracks through the gorse and bracken and brown brush. Still quite a lot of water underfoot and plenty of muddy areas next to main tracks. On the return leg of the walk paced up Brocks Hill and checked to see if any of the Ponies could be seen from elevated position.  Continued with 2 loops walking around the base area of Brocks Hill and adjacent tracks through the gorse opposite to Tweseldown.

Plenty of Pony tracks and signs of recent activity.

No Ponies to be seen at all.

Several dog walkers seen with a couple of dogs not on leashes.

Spoke with Groundsman who was clearing brush and sawing up small logs. He had not seen any sign of the ponies either.

No fencing damage in the areas I walked through.

Hope this is helpful.

Best,

Ronnie
