‘In everything, do to others as you would have them do to you. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves’. Some one said a piccie was worth thousands of words but we weren’t sure the kids knew what a ‘hypothesis’ was …
I’m writing a piece about the row over access to Vixen Tor for The Sunday Telegraph and I’d be interested in hearing your comments on the dispute. Are there any campaigners on the rambling/access side I should speak to and do you happen to have a contact number for Mrs Alford? Could you give me a call when you get the opportunity, preferably before Friday lunchtime. Hi Tim, I though you might be interested to know that I have taken it upon myself to try and document most of the features on Cut Hill, before they get forgotten with time. I have managed to do 14 so far but many more trips up there needed to get most of them. Sadly the pipes don’t seem to be there any more.

I really know nothing of dartmoor & we are staying near later this year and do not want to miss anything.Many thanks, Lynne. Hi I thought it was about time I dropped you a line to thank you for the Legendary Dartmoor website as a never ending source of information. I have been using it on a regular basis for many years.

As fixture secretary Graeme remembered arranging some Sunday fixtures in North Wales … But in those days the pubs remained closed on Sundays in many areas so he had to be particularly alert to the licensing laws before finalising the games. Our class mate and team mate Mike Gledhill was on the ’56 tour and in 2015 he also remembered all the fun and hilarity which built a foundation for the future … Mike was a good friend and we remembered the help he gave when we were sinking into the abyss of unfathomable French ‘dictée’ and the inappropriate use of ‘qui’ and ‘que’. An enthusiastic sportsman and a good skin. Graeme Guthrie’s selection to play for the English Schools Cricket Association team against Lancashire Second XI in was the proof that it had indeed ‘worked’.

At Kings Chester in 1956 there was one happening of academic fun that was indelible; we were up front in a school debate on The Suez Crisis. In the end we did learn to read and eventually our library became established as a treasure, an inspired happening of choice. Without gravitas ‘The Mail’ plundered ‘issues’ which were just a different slant on all the other ‘furrowed brow’ problems in the ‘serious newspapers’ … In any case we guessed that all such ‘issues of the day’ were editorial concoctions to sell newspapers. Many others read ‘serious’ newspapers, studied opinions and followed the heated ‘hatreds’ & ‘arrogant follies’ King Kong Crash Climber in the Parliaments & Bureaucracies. But as they became embroiled in the unfolding Apocalypse as Armageddon was declared …
I wonder whether you could solve a mystery that I came across whilst walking on Dartmoor today. I have been walking the moors since the mid 70s and don’t recall seeing this antiquity before. Have you come across this before and do you know its purpose.
He speaks of you and your family constantly. It was for me what made Nigeria different from all the other countries I have worked in. Fritz started Unilever life in Export and in those days the promotion ladder was into the OSC. He was hoping for a post in Malawi but was called in by Edgar Graham and offered Zaire. Fritz never understood why he accepted?
In between beers there was the enjoyable task of educating youngsters in the fine arts. At Dakar Road there was a cricket pitch which doubled as a cycle track … Dennis Lillee and Geoff Thomson, were up against the English stars, Boycott, Edrich, Greig & Knott … Although the ball spent most of its time in the drain it was always retrieved by a young Jonathan who was under Doctor’s orders to build up his immunity to the alien bugs asap … Meanwhile Sally enjoyed a more sensible education at nursery and at Corona School and tended to her dear ‘Pipin’, a prolific chuckle chicken which somehow managed to escape the pot … And escaped the photographer in this photo.
