31st May 2011

Dad: an historical shot for our last Poochblog entry of Year 6!
I joined the wife and Pooch on Monday night and we spent the 31st (yesterday) exploring the industrial heritage of the Tamar Valley on the Cornwall/Devon border.
Pooch was eager to explore the ruins of Clitters copper mine which we found during a woodland walky beside the River Tamar, near the village of Lower Dimson.
He thought there could well be some rabbits or squ*rrels lurking around in there, and perhaps he was right!
However after the wife spotted a sign warning of open mine-shafts and contaminated ground, she took Pooch away - much to his disappointment!

Here's a shot I took at Drakewalls Mine, Gunnislake, earlier in the day: http://www.pbase.com/image/135185965 This was once one of the most prosperous mines in the area.

What superb history here....you need to listen to Mum, Pooch....coming from a goldmining town I know I was warned all my life to never go near the old diggings.

Yes, be careful of unexpected holes in the ground. Lots of fresh green, a perfect background for Pooch!V!
