Many thanks Skipping Stones. The twisty trunks and branches made interesting frames for the scenery!

It is wonderful! It reminds me of the Lord of the Rings movie. I have seen moss on trees, but never covered like that.

Thank you Sandy. It makes me wonder how old some of the trees on these hills are. I know there are ancient paths. I will see if I can find out.

Thank you Terry!! I had never visited this part of England before (the Quantock Hills). Somerset, generally, is a very interesting county full of wonderful landscapes and scenery.

The village looks otherworldly, while the trees have such presence. Very, very nice.

Many thanks Yearstricken. I found the trees to have a strong presence too. The misty conditions added to the ethereal quality of the landscape I think!

Really interesting and lovely! You can tell those trees have been around a long, long time. I like the “moss patina”.

Great trees, you could climb up, wriggle yourself into a comfortable seat and sit for ages watching the world go by. 🙂

Oh, you really could! I was on a quest on that day though to prove to myself that I could climb the highest hill on the Quantocks: Will’s Neck. I got to the top and stood at the trig point (although I sort of cheated getting there!). The descent was one of the worst and best things I’ve done on a hill though. It was almost vertical and I was sure I was going to tumble over and over.

NOT one for me to try then, a bit like my climb up Catbells in the Lake District. Enjoyed the walk up and down apart from the scrambling to reach the top, I would have rathered gone round the peak and met Hubby on the other side. 🙂 Well done for making it up … and back down again. 🙂

Ha ha! I’m impressed that you climbed Catbells which is way higher than Will’s Neck – the descent of which was more like a slide and a hope for the best than a walk! I’m not a natural climber – I have small steps and am not athletically built by any stretch of the imagination! I thought I’d get a bit of practise in before I go to the Dales in the Summer!

Grand framing! That must be quite some hill you were on, for that perspective. Looks like what Gollum might see, spying on Hobbiton from a dark hidey hole.

Thank you Gary. I can’t remember the height of that hill but it enabled some wonderful views – albeit misty ones. I was en-route to the highest spot which wasn’t that many feet higher than this area. Yes – it does have a very strong ‘Lord of the Rings’ vibe about it!
