A blustery but sunny morning/lunch time on the Hill today, with lots of human activity! On the way up the main path I met a gang of Ramblers (15-20). I stopped them for a chat, told them all about the hill, and lake and the ponies. Looks like we are now on the regular Rambler route! They asked if there were other paths and I had to say yes, but that they were incredibly steep and very very muddy. So hopefully that'll keep them to the main path 😁. But they were very friendly and interested so hopefully they'll be a good ally.
Also bumped into a man and two kids on mountain bikes. They were a bit more reticent to engage, and I made my way to the ponies before they got there in case the kids got a bit excited, but in the end they showed no interest at all, which was a shame as I was looking forward to singing the girls' praises.
The ponies were looking well, happily grazing away, but seemed a little jumpy, possibly due to the recent influx of people. But they were still very happy to pose for photos 😀.
