Cool - re the trip to Dyers  :punk:

James P had such a hard time over his grading of this stunning pitch (Walk of Life), and I was always full of praise, simply for him making the effort to break away from his usual haunts, and wrestle with some Devonian esoteria.

Is it ground up if you use a ladder?  :worms: What about a cherry picker?

Not 100% sure on this, but I have a feeling Dan Turner has done voyager low start. Check his Instagram story from today...
