A dark and misty night beckoned
Us out to a busy Four Winds
Striking out south the brook was crossed
And a steady climb led to King's Tor
Down again to the railway now disused
And round to pick up the tramway past Foggintor
Then up and up to the whistle of the wind
At North Hessary Tor and a welcome breakThen carefully Hollow Tor was passedNow to the cars and on to the WhittyWhere round our table we gathered
on quite a fair evening
a fair number of folk
set out fairly quickly from Two Bridges
carefully round Beardown Tors to avoid the firing
as tracers fairly swished around
but they had no fear
as they gaily crossed the fairly fast flowing Dart
fairly steeply up to Longaford
then a fair way along the ridge
to Littaford and fairly swiftly to the cars
fair enough then
A windly twindly walk out of Lydford
Led us across Fernworthy Down
And out onto the open moor
The cars were streaming back from Goosey fair
As we set off up Arms Tor
On a clear evening
Before heading down, down
Some over some through the prickles
Past Frank's House
To make our way to the Castle Inn
No quiz night tonight
We settled into the settles
For a few beers
Well all I can say is it better be goodAfter all they have made a right messAll over our lovely MoorAnd there better had beLots of mud in the filmBecause they made enough.Our walk was a lot, lot betterYou really had to concentrateOr you would have missed so muchSo much informationSo much knowledgeSo much deeper understanding of the pastSo, so much to learnPerhaps if I listened a bit more
I would learn a bit more.
You really do have to be there ...
