WW 16th November 2011
That man, you know that man who stands there with the map behind him just as you are putting on your gaiters. Well he said that although there was high pressure over Scandinavia (Exeter way) the heavy rain was blasting in across Cornwall ready to strike Dartmoor. And so that is perhaps why the wise four put on all their waterproofs before heading out from High Down. And yes it did tip it down for nearly one and a half minutes. Up Doe Tor they went stopping for a refreshing cup of tea. Then out to check the lintels were still there before meandering their way to Brat Tor which is always a funny place to find. The stars were out and through the magic of spending loads and loads of cash they endeavoured to ascertain where the North and South Poles were. And yes it is amazing to find all the planets in the sky and the constellations. But it was all the more amazing to look downwards to check out the constellations in the southern hemisphere. Suitably impressed down to the ford, cars and the Mary Tavy Inn. Where they seem to have moved the bar, painted it all and installed lighting.
You really do have to be there ...
