EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a simpler time, as two young hikers take a moment to rest and consult their map at the picturesque Horner Water in West Luccombe, Exmoor, Somerset. Dressed in red clothes and carrying backpacks, the boys appear focused and determined, their expressions reflecting the excitement and anticipation of the adventure that lies ahead. Surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of the countryside, they lean against a sturdy tree, its branches reaching out towards the clear blue sky above. The tranquil waters of Horner Water mirror the vibrant colors of their clothing, creating a visually striking contrast between man and nature. The scene transports us back to the 1960s, an era when the great outdoors beckoned to those seeking adventure and a break from the hustle and bustle of city life. The boys' wooden walking sticks, resting on the ground beside them, are a testament to the challenges they have already faced on their hike and the ones yet to come. As they delve deeper into their map, they plan their next move, their eyes filled with a sense of wonder and discovery. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the enduring appeal of the great outdoors and the simple pleasures of hiking through the rural landscapes of Exmoor. With its rich history, breathtaking scenery, and endless opportunities for exploration, it's no wonder that the area remains a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers alike.
