Sideways glance at the new quarry on Kings Highway. 9. Heading towards the old firing range. 10. Look back at Hameldon Woods. |

Part 3. Today in Pictures.
21. A few spent bullets an a quick mooch, these never hit the target they went in the mound in front of the target. 22. I think one might be a mummy long legs, unless its a civil partnership? 23. Further up the hill and looking back. 24. Still further up the hill. 25. Across to the generators. 26. Up the hill with a dirty dog. 27. If you think your getting in my car......... 28. Looking towards Huncoat. 29. Up at the rockface. 30.Further round but still looking to Huncoat. |

Part 4. Today in Pictures. the final push.
31. Stuff over the edge as useless. 32. A hidden watering hole. 33. Open wide and say AAAAAAGH. 34. Don't know what it is yet but its an orange one. 35. Looking up at the road we came down. 36. Looking forward to the way we are heading. 37. Back in the woods. 38. Its a bit small, the branch was pencil thick. 39. Heading out. 40. Almost out. Thats your lot, might not be any tomorrow, I'm on gardening duty. Its only a postage stamp, but its got away from me. |

We both got mucky and smelly as well, that marshland is a bit stagnant, so yes it was bath time for both of us, but not at the same time, he wouldn't get in my dirty water. |

21. A few spent bullets an a quick mooch, these never hit the target they went in the mound in front of the target. If you found them in the mound in front of the targets, then those are ricochets, they are all deformed, so have will have gone through the targets, I do know of one person who was up there digging bullets out recently, he posted some pics and info on another web site. It became very dangerous on that range, you could hear ricochets often, some times louder and closer than we liked, as I said in my other post, tracer showed the problem. I think the Army were the last to used that range, getting rid of surplus & outdated ammo. |

7.62 cartridges made by Greenwood & Bately are now collectors items. If your lucky you might find some .280's, that was tried as the new British calibre, before Churchill went along with the septics, who wanted the 7.62 to be the standard round, which was a shortened version of their 30-06, known as the .308 Winchester. |

Tried to capture that Mantis a bit better - he is very photogenic, brilliantly camouflaged against the bark of the tree and doesn't move but the camera seems to focus better on the leaves than him. Don't know if the problem is man or the machine...:rolleyes::D
