I Live in Cornwall and not far from Dartmoor. A beautiful and dramatic place. I have walked it and camped on it many times. The Plume of Feathers in Princetown does a mean fried breakfast.

No problem with that to a certain level, no Mostali Cold Fusion. It's just an obsevation that I can't recall seeing peat bogs on Dartmoor. I remember large bogs capped with thick sphagnum moss mats. Real fun to bounce on...until you go through...up to your waist...10 miles from the car.

Yea bog iron just seems sooo cool there must be a mythic reason for it but I can't think why. In the RW it's formed from mineral run off and the iron being produced by bacteria removing the oxygen from rust for respiration. It was harvested about once every generation. I'll eat cheese and cold pizza tonight and see what dreamtime brings! Steve
