Now that made a very nice change.
With the forecast of mist, drizzle and a cooling breeze, out from Belstone Green. The general consensus was that it actually was raining - but never mind. Along the road to pop out onto the moor on the gritty track. Round as the mist came and went - but mainly came. Soon we were at Nine Maidens, confusingly also known as 17 brothers. Neat tracks led us down about and over to Scarey Tor where the East Okement could be heard rumbling below - no one seemed keen for a dip. Steeply up to the top track to Winter Tor where good shelter was found for a cuppa. Back and across the track up to Higher Tor which certainly loomed large out of the mist. Along the ridge ticking off all the Belstone Tors and Irishman's Wall. A wee track was found to take us east and down. Through the gate to check on the tractors - all much the same. And back to the cars and The Tors. Rather an odd menu - American? The sensible had very nice looking starters whilst the rest had to make do with huge dinners.
A very nice, proper Dartmoor day to be out and about.
