| Some time ago, I am sure I saw a planning application in a local newspaper for a photovoltaic array at this site so I had been intending to go and have a look. Then I noticed it was on the update hit list and, having to go to Exeter, decided to take the scenic route home across the moors. Well there is no solar panel array and I have just trawled back through Exmoor National Park planning applications and I can't find anything listed. Anyway, look, I had blue sky and sunshine and here are the DSO updates. |

| No changes at the top. The six stack on the left would serve up the valley to Battleton and Dulverton, the four stack on the right, down the valley, probably as far as Exebridge. |
| Are these gps cones? Not sure why, some connection with Airwave Tetra or mobile comms perhaps. |

| Looking out over Brushford from the site. The large building is / was the Carnarvon Arms hotel which served the railway. Before Beeching, the Taunton to Barnstaple railway ran through here though, although in Brushford, the station was actually called Dulverton. There was also a junction with a branch down the Exe valley through Tiverton to Exeter. The hotel building has now been converted into residential appartments.
