short trips round and about

Hello world!

Today Myself and my friend Brian went on a short cycle trip to hunt for mushrooms in Hembury Hill woods on the site of an Iron age celtic hill fort which was later occupied by the Romans.

Hembury Hill Fort Woods

To get there we travelled out of Honiton on the A373 then turned right after Awliscombe up Wolverstone hill (quite a long uphill) then at the top headed left to Hembury.

 We were hunting for cep mushrooms but unfortunately did not find any. We did find some Panthercap mushrooms but you wouldn’t want to put any of them in your omlette as they have the potential to kill you!

Don't eat this mushroom!
