  • Glad you both enjoyed it. This was my first encounter with border morris. I've written about it on my blog. YouTube doesn't let you link to other sites, but a Google search on "hydragenic sweeps" should find it. There's a link to my pictures at the bottom of my post, including several of the Grimspound side.
