On the Sunday morning we headed back down the hill to Kingcombe centre, where Nick had left the best of his moth trap for guests to see. Dotted Border was a new species for me.
When we had assembled we drove (in a convoy) to Winyards Gap, from where we set out for a five mile walk down into Somerset and back. Many had a pub lunch at Winyard’s Gap and then continued on another walk, but we decided to head home as we now felt pretty knackered.
We woke to a gloriously sunny morning...
