Shining as if it has been used as a rubbing-post for a century or two and then as a bird-perch in the last month.

It is a busy time, catching a short dry spell to cut and collect grass for winter feed. Soon these fields will be cut.

Barley, Fawside

My second attempt to get into NT6545, the first was when it was still unvisited, but I was stopped by growing crops. Now there is no longer an access restriction, the barley has been harvested and the neighbouring silage grass fields are being grazed. September is the time to visit those awkward grid squares, but winter crops are becoming more and more popular, and the stubble can be ploughed soon after harvest, as is the usual practice in England.
