Munch's Move - Plan B!

Munch and Hazel-Ann on their walking adventure
On the way home from Chulmleigh yesterday, I noticed a signpost with a location on it that I recognised...and it isn't far from Horseford Farm, where the ponies used to reside.  On consulting an Ordnance Survey map, it looked possible for us to walk Munchkin over 2 days to our main base - and so plan B was formed!  So...today we (myself and willing volunteer Hazel-Ann) walked Munch the 9 miles to Horseford Farm, where he is B&Bing tonight thanks to Paul and Cilla.

Actually, it was a really good way to get to know him - we met just about every type of traffic you could imagine on the Devon country lanes...milk tankers, tractors with silage trailers, tractors with muck spreaders, quadbikes, a herd of cows, haulage lorries...he really is bombproof in all the traffic.  There were lots of grassy verges to walk on.  When we reached the lane to Horseford and the driveway, you could see he recognised where he was...and he was very perky after such a long walk!
