After such a long spell of fine weather all was changed by the evening of our walk on Tregonning Hill, but a few members braved the weather to attend. We assembled at the CP at the foot of Godolphin Hill
A short walk from the CP path took us to the stile leading to an area of the Hill known as the Warren
Continuing up the hill ferns were very much the predominant vegetation but some colour could be found
Nearing the top a stop to take in the view

Tregonning hill
This mound of which there thought to be 5 on the hill known as Pillar or Pillow mounds are purpose built to attract rabbits to make their nest in and do what rabbits do best. With the help from a ferret this then become an important food source.
Steve pointed out a tin bound marker stone showing the limit for Great Works mine
Being near the top of the hill this pit even with such a dry spell had some mud
in the bottom and is thought to be a well dating back to the Bronze age
