WW 29th May 2013

After a sunny, cloudy day the clouds just gently rolled in. He was there, second time in three weeks. And so, we had lots to catch up on. Out we rolled from Belstone Green, past the Field Marshall slowly sinking into the ground. To Taw Marsh and the Radon Works before climbing gently up to wonderful Oke Tor. A few stalwarts were hiding, beautifully camouflaged except for the yellow flashes on the machine gun. A gentle NW was blowing as we sheltered for our cuppa. Then back along the ridge and even some rain to hustle us into waterproofs. Down, down to The Tors, which was very quiet until we arrived. Then back home - still 12C so can't complain.

WW 22nd May 2013

Well that cold northerly wind was really kicking in. As a substantial team set out. Round Bonehill and up to Bel. To Chinkwell and then a real treat. Down to Hedge Tor. What a lovely place, with views round from Bowerman's Nose, Hound, Hay and on to Hameldown. Rather naughtily to the lane where we could hear the trials bikes trialling. Then up to Hound for a cuppa. Before heading across to the bluebells. They were sleeping as the sun had set but still well worth a visit by all in the next few, cool days. Back in the gloaming, a few to Top before the Rugglestone. He was not there, apparently Tuesday night had been a bit heavy. In fact the place was empty.

A substantial team gathered on the green for the traditional bluebell woods walk. And they were not to be disappointed. The bluebells covered the ground and quite a few were out admiring the view. Onward to Sheepstor and up Joey's to Maiden and on to the tor itself. Round and down to the dams where the tarmac gangs were busy patch patching. And to the Royal Oak which was pleasantly busy. We sat outside in a most orderly manner and caught up on all the news.

WW 15th May 2013

 
Well, who was the most surprised? Just bimbling down the track to Plym Ford on a cool, beautiful May evening. Minding your own business and just what can that be. Bold as brass. Just sitting there. Sitting there seemingly without a care in the world. Then turning and staring. What else can you do. 

So out from Peat Cot and down to Nun's Cross. Remarkably cool, some in their winter wear. A few puddles on the track. Winding out to Whealham Bottom before chasing the narrow track to Hand Hill, always lovely there. To Plym Ford and a surprise. On along the slightly repaired track to Eyelsbarrow. Then down in the gently easing day with seemingly ridges of mountains running away. To Seward's Cross and back. With the car warning of ice on the road to the PoW. 

These long, lazy, spring evenings are quite something, but ...

WW 8th May 2013

I marched them up to the top of Stannon then marched them down again. 

No marching needed to get them in Mary Tavy Inn.

I will not be joining you for this excellent walk.
Send on words and a pic if you like.
