Julia says,
I’m going to change the mood somewhat this week. It has been the Easter week-end and although it was not about chocolate, it has become a sweet-fest! So, the prompt is:
… but it has nuts in…
Of course I’m going to be rebellious so . . .
Walk for your treats
SX65378745 head south west, cross the clapper bridge on the North Teign River, a mile to the kissing gate. Follow the path west to a dry stone wall and then three stones from the top, eight from the triangular one you’ll find a map shoved in.
You’ll see that you must retrace your steps to the horizontal tree, the ground is boggy, take your boots off and wade through, then the hairy cows won’t follow you. See a standing stone that’s fallen? Put your hand in the mud and feel around. Got it? That’s your treasure box.
‘But it has nuts in it.’
‘Uh?’

Oh Gilly…thank you for this. Loved it
Well I knew you’d get it 🙂
This just reached out and ‘said’ something to me.
Clapper bridge! Kissing gate! You got me hooked!
I’m so pleased, do you know what they are? do you have them over there? I wondered if this could only work in England!
Made me laugh! 🙂
Thanks Meredith, I’m glad you got it!
How brilliant Gilly! you are certainly a naughty member of the class but do get extra points for originality & humour!
I’m glad you get it Julia, I don’t think everyone would 🙂
Hahaha…… better leave it for the squirrels then. 🙂 I think you lost me at the boggy ground.
hahaha I think knowing Dartmoor is key to this one!
Nice one Gilly 🙂
This is the first post I’ve read today and it has me smiling. You always write about such interesting places and things: clapper bridge, kissing gate, horizontal tree, hairy cow, and ‘It’s got nuts in it.’
