One day I'll get the hang of turning the camera on!
I had it all planned, I looked up as much info as I could. Logged it between my lug holes (ears), got out to the farm and set about telling it's story, cracking story of how it was built around 1807 during the rush to 'tame' the moor, how after 50 years of struggle and 4 different owners it finally became too much...mind you the last family did have 10 kids to deal with! And to be fair a huge number of farms failed up there....then I find when I get home, the camera wasn't recording....
There is a legend about a spirit of the moor named Old Crockern, he is said to have warned that: " Anyone whosoever scratches my back with a plough share, I shall rip open his pockets" Of course there is no truth to the story, but...In all honesty it's the daftest place to stick a farm, you have one of Southern Britain's largest bogs out the front door and a hill behind that has a spot named 'Mount Misery'... as for access, you'd be hard pressed to convince an ass to take you out there...though which one would be the bigger ass is debatable...on this occasion me!
