On the same day as my visit to the Hurlers and the revelations that I gained there (link). I visited the Cheesewring about a mile or so further into the moor.
It is a curious and daunting place. Take a look at the picture below…
It was a wonderfully sunny Winter’s day and the air was clear and crisp. The climb was easy and well worth it for the views that could be seen. However a curious thing occurred.
As is normal for me these days I like to share images of where I am with friends and family and this occasion was no exception. So I took a few pictures of this monumental (32 foot high) feature and sent them out to friends.
Unusually, almost straight away I got a text back from a good friend Trace.
“Ugh,” she said, “thats a bad place, get out of there.”
I was surprised as I didn’t feel any “badness” from the place. Then another text from another friend saying she felt uncomfortable with the images and requested I stop sending them.
After that I had to get my rods out to check whether there was anything afoot. Nope I was fine and so was the place. And then unbelievably another text from a friend, “You watch yourself, that’s a bad place.”
This was unprecedented so I got the rods again, “Was this a good place for ladies?” No,
Ah…
Just thought I would note it here.
