Well that makes a nice change
All that damp
Softens the skin
Back to normal
T-shirts and trainers
That's what we like
Slight cooling breeze
Out into the brightness
Proper Dartmoor
Ditsworthy and Eyelsbarrow
To see the ISS
Coming out of the clear sky
Down to the Scout Hut
And to the Royal Oak
Where we could drink French beer
And hear of all the plans
To travel the world
And glory in the new beginning
Will anyone be there next week?
Well that makes a nice change
All that sunshine
It dries the skin
Back to normal
Hats and gloves
That's what we like
Overtrousers and hoods up
Out into the mizzle
Proper Dartmoor
King's and Swell
To North Hessary
Looming out of the gloop
Surprised soldiers at Hollow
And to the Whitty
Where people were sat
At OUR table
How dare they?
The RV was Gutter Tor CP but we didn't go to Gutter Tor! There was some playing with the boomerang before we started but it wouldn't come back. After a briefing from our leader we set off for the track and onwards to the first of our river crossings. It was here that Tom made quite a splash. Next across to Shavercombe brook for a brief stop at the beautiful hidden waterfall and our second river crossing. Onwards for our final river crossing at Plym Steps and then a short break at Lower Hartor Tor. Up to Higher Hartor Tor and back to the cars. Not only did we have daylight this week but a setting sun and perfect conditions for an evening walk.
You really do have to be there ...
