WW 28th November 2012
Dry, crisp, clear and very cold under a full moon. Over the top from Cherrybrook Bridge and down to Bellever, then on to Laughter Tor for a few chuckles before swinging down and up to Bellever Tor itself and so home through the woods. . At least one of us sees a fox and, better yet, we start with six and end with seven. How very satisfactory !

Well that was nice, nothing quite like a good Dartmoor blow through. Out from Pork Hill as the rain softly started, unerringly out and round to both bull stones. Each being most professionally roddled out.No doubt flooding some poor soul down stream. On to Pew and over to Heckwood for a nice cuppa. Slipping and sliding our way round Vixen Tor where, amazingly, the locks had been smashed on the gates. And onwards and upwards as the hail arrived to Middle Staple and then a wet plodge back to the cars. To the Whitty which was rammed, some people were even sitting at our table - the sauce.

After another night of very heavy rain, on a beautiful sunny morning we started from beside the River Tavy in the picturesque village of Bere Ferres before following the Tamar Valley Discovery Trail to the River Tamar on the other side of the Bere penninsula. Past Liphill Quay and on to Weir Quay stopping to look at the controversial site for the relocation of Weir Quay boat club. Then up through the woods to take a higher route back through the many puddles before returning to The Plough for lunch. Eleven of us enjoyed an excellent three hour walk with superb views all around.
WW 14th November 2012
We walked directly into a surprisingly strong wind as we headed up from
Sourton to Shelstone Tor. Then down around Meldon reservoir with a stop
to admire the stars - a crystal clear night with no moon or light
pollution and a fantastic view of the sky. Back up the very muddy track
and on to the Fox and Hounds.
WW 7th November 2012
A fine walk on a beautiful, clear evening. Out from the quarry car park along the track to Stephen's Grave. Then steadily up White Tor to explore the ancient fort. On to the now small stump of the fibre glass flagpole for a warming cuppa and to watch fireworks in the north. Down the froggy track past Broadmoor Farm. Over the bridge and up to Boulters Tor. The full traverse of Boulters Tor - just how many tors are there? Back to the cars and the very quiet PTI for a jar and catch up.
Nice
WWW 7th November 2012
A most educative walk. Out from Dunnabridge past most interesting things, and on to Laughter Tor. Down into the woods and on to somewhere else before rounding to Bellever Tor. Down and along the old track to the cars for the PoW.
