WW 17th October 2012

The moor is a wet as it ever gets and as we set off over Leeden Tor there were more very heavy showers.  Down the other side to the little bridge and then up the path to the top.  With the heavy showers the path was like a stream as the water ran down.  Along the track and on to King Tor for the break.  The showers stopped while we were there and it was good to get out of the wind. Then down to the track, around Ingra Tor and back to the cars.  On to the Burrator Inn - an uninspiring  place but the barman was friendly enough and our own company was good! 

WWW 10th October 2012

History in the making. The Wednesday Walkers first morning walk. Six of us for this inaugural walk with a mixed bag of weather, a little sunshine, a little rain and quite a lot of hill fog. Out from Gutter Tor car park (and what a busy place that was) and over towards Deancombe. Through the old workings and across to the pig pit which 160 years ago housed a giant water wheel to provide power for the workings on Eylesbarrow. John produced a diagram and of the area and explained how this huge water wheel was powered by water. Next across to Higher Hartor Tor and back on the ridge with the standing stones between Drizzle Combe and the Giant's Basin. Then for a tasty lunch in the Royal Oak.

WW 3rd October 2012

No one could remember having ever starting a walk from here before. Most of us survived the treacherous gully on the entry to the car park and off we went along the road to Brisworthy which had a very strange smell but the dogs which our leader had encountered before were not there.  Then on to the moor.  To a perfect stone circle before going through the boggy bit of Legis Lake where one person managed to find a big hole.  Up to Legis Tor and across to the film set of  Ditsworthy Warren House. Along the track and up to Gutter Tor for a break - with a military tent nearby - but they  kept their distance.  We found several glow sticks in different places and this one was on the trig point by Gutter Tor with a small red led. The military were on manoeuvres.  They were well hidden and we didn't see them. Next along the boggy track and back to the start.  There was a lot going on in Meavy with cars everywhere - some sort of meeting for the squeeze box people but at least we didn't have to put up with them in the pub.
