Visiting Hogsback for AA Traveller. I remember the previous visit, soon after the priest killing; dry, brittle, angstful, not a good experience. This time green, warm and somehow friendlier.
The issues remain though - a divided community, water and power problems, bad road maintenance the inevitable grumblings of not enough income from those that live here. But things seem smarter, cleaner, better organised. There is more to do and plenty of places to eat and drink. The Arminel Hotel is a world class country hotel, as is Hogsback Inn, renovated and back to something like its best.
