Many, many thanks Dave for your efforts.

The area around the waterfall due to the footpath being closed had become very overgrown, I bet a lot of people have not seen the water for years, and I managed to find an area I had not walked before, even with the stung nutmegs. So I enjoyed the quest, and if the footpath ever opens again I will be down, but I reckon the cost will stop that.
When I was walking through the farmhouse complex a couple of dogs bolted out of the end house closest to the camera, one a cockapoo and one a Jack Russel, which is exactly the two dogs I have as well( the Jack Russell is borrowed for the walk, but mine whilst out) and spent 10 minutes chatting with the owners, so it was a pleasant few hours overall.
