Got the Mumps

For those of you unfamiliar with Somerset, this is not Glastonbury Tor. It is, in fact, a nearby landmark which is somewhat smaller and less well known - the Burrow Mump

In this case, the church fell into disrepair because the locals decided that they couldn't be bothered hauling themselves up the hill on a Sunday morning, and built another church at the bottom.

As you can see, a couple of hardy souls made it to the top on the day that we visited. In fact, we made our way up there shortly after this image was made - there's a handy car park at the foot. All the place needs to be perfect is a tea shop - it is NT after all.

Getting the Mumps

Mono image of the church on the Burrow Mump, made using a Sony Alpha 550.

Bank holiday Monday found us at Burrow Bridge, on the Burrow Mump. As you can see, the day was overcast, so I've had to make the best that I can of the sky in post.

The Burrow Mump itself is a bit of a poor man's Glastonbury Tor - you can see Wirral Hill away to the north. We didn't hang about and went on to the RSPB reserve at Graylake, were I made some images which I'll post shortly.
