The north east cairn on Corndon Hill A shelter has been excavated into the cairn hence its 'flying saucer' profile. The summit of Corndon is in the background.

Corndon Hill summit Here are three good things to find at a summit; a trig point of course, a cairn and a wooden bench. In warm weather a great point to sit with powerful binoculars as you can spend ages birdwatching and spotting out features in the landscape below such as Mitchell's Fold Stone Circle.

Slime mould on Corndon Hill If you have ever encountered this on walks you may well, as I have, discount it as dog vomit but it is in fact a slime mould, a life form that used to be classified as a fungi. It feeds on micro-organisms that you may find on the forest floor, lawns or logs. It grows to form a substance, such as this one, eventually dries out and becomes 'dust', dissolved in rain or washed away. The grass blades give scale but this example is five or six inches in length.

Smaller slime mould on Corndon Hill The common name for this slime mould is 'Dog's vomit slime mould' as that is what it most readily resembles. I'm not a great person for getting on my knees to closely inspect things like this but I must say that they are amazing little life forms; emerging or forming, living their life cycle and drying out awaiting the opportunity to reform via spores released during their brief existence. They mystified early scientists and observers for years if not centuries until they have been more understood and studied only in recent decades.

Engine House - White Grit Mine A remnant of the local lead mining industry the White Grit Engine House was built in the 1840s-50s for Lewis & Phillips 'Grit and Gravels Co.' to exploit the Rider and Squilver veins. Production largely ceased by the 1870s but continued sporadically at a lesser scale until the early 1900s.
