Yesterday a group of us walked out to Hoaroak Cottage (hoaroakcottage.org). Here are a few photos of the day. There will be a write up of the walk on the Hoaroak Cottage website in due course.

Repainting the Land Rover
The Land Rover gets a lot of abuse. It forces its way through scratchy bushes several times a week going out to the Exmoor Centre, I am always chucking bikes and timber on the roof and generally using its bodywork as movable scaffold. The good thing is if I do decide to give a fresh coat of paint it only takes a day and a pot of Dulux paint! Everyone thought I was mad painting a Land Rover with normal gloss paint. My argument is that its cheap…very cheap.
Yesterday I had some free time and having found an old tin of Dulux Celebration Red gloss from when I painted the Land Rover 12 years ago I thought it was time to start to freshen its image up for the summer.
I gathered together the tools required:
Scraper x2
Drill, with flappy sanding discs in various grits. Drill battery charger.
Sanding pads and a bucket
Paint Brish (not Brush, this is Exmoor remember)
Paint.
By lunchtime I reckoned I’d earned some cider
and by end of play the Land Rover was bright red again.
It needs another coat really and I have a lot of black bits to paint yet but its definitely looking smarter now.

Hoaroak Cottage
If you are adventuring onto Exmoor and are reasonably competent out in the wilds there is a place you really should try to seek out; http://www.hoaroakcottage.org/ .
Hoaroak Cottage is an abandoned farmhouse about as far from civilisation as you can get on Exmoor, it was once home to my Great Great Grandfather and Grandmother and their 13 children. Their story and that of the other folk who have occupied this remote place is told on the above website.
Below are a few pictures of us filming an episode of the popular FlameTV programme HeirHunters out at the cottage.

Fitst up, a link to see if the old site is still clickable but hidden away.. http://www.muddyredlandrover.co.uk/photos.htm

So far so good…
