Those who want to control everything can't yet control the weather. There are people who would not consider walking in such weather as this. But it is Blacka's best feature that it owes a lot to the years of no management. A good time to see nature in control is when the water is flowing fast as it was today.
The management would if they could of course. It is simply what they do. It must give them real pain to see the 'wrong things' growing, just as to see the 'wrong ideas' being promoted or even, in some cases, recorded.
But raw natural beauty beats anything that is designed by a committee be it the Board of Natural England or the Steering Group of the SMP Master Plan or the coordinated professional Lobbyists of the NFU.
A lone stag, one of the bigger ones, was shaking himself dry near the woods, his velvets already well advanced.
