Cutcombe : Exmoor - Dunkery Beacon I headed up to Dunkery Beacon on a clear September evening to see if I could see the stars and the Milky Way, after all, they do say this is a good spot for it. Got to the top, and soon after two other chaps were doing the same thing. One of them had a red light on his hat, it illuminated the beacon. He (Farmer Torque), wanted to get a nice shot of him looking at the stars.
