The ponies were browsing the gorse on the south side of Brock's Hill at 1215 today, some close to the track and others deep in the gorse.
The are all well and looking good, apart from all the bits of gorse, burrs and bracken they have managed to accumulate in their manes.
On the top of Brock's Hill, on the cleared patch that looks out to the north, I came across a collection of old blanks, mostly spent but one or two live (with no firing pin marks).
They may have been collected together by the military or the clearance contractors. I'm not sure what the disposal protocol would be for so many but they are exposed where ponies could step upon them.
Hi Steve. Hope you are well. Thanks very much for highlighting the bullets. I ran into Landmarc at one of the other MoD sites earlier today and mentioned it to them. They have since informed the army, who will be collecting them.
ReplyDeleteFor information, I've just been advised that the army have cleared the bullets from Brock's Hill. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, thanks Gordon!
