WW 28th August 2013

And on it goes, on and on. So on a warm, sunny, summer's evening a goodly gathering at Norsworthy Bridge. Out along the lane to Cuckoo Rock with the sun gently lighting up the trees. The Rowan gleaming bright red. On to Combeshead Tor as the sun started to set over Peak Hill. Then to the stone row and down to Little Hughes Mine and round the T-girt to Newleycombe Cross. Getting dark as we headed to Crazywell Cross where a very calm lady was watching the sunset with a bottle of wine on her birthday - good for her. Now time for a cuppa before heading down rocky Raddick to the fungus trail. Not much to see but high hopes for a few week time. To the Royal Oak which was as busy as usual. What a nice walk on such a nice evening.

WW 21st August 2013

Goodness me it really is hot! For an evening walk quite remarkably hot. How often do you walk in the hot dark? So out from Two Bridges on a hot evening. Out past Crockern and winding up to Littaford. Hotly on to Longaford where some bivouacers had managed to find damp wood to try to start a fire. Just where do you find damp wood in this hot? Down across the dribbling West Dart and on to lovely Crow Tor. The torches of the red brigade danced over by Lydford Tor as we made our way down and back past Witsman's to the PoW. They were there and also some mad, bold visitor had sat, presumably accidentally, in his chair!

Editors note: Ho Ho Google maps has got two East Darts

A most pleasant walk on a, now familiar, hot summer's day. Out from the Fox and Hounds along the tramway to the points. Clear as a bell it was. Up to Gren and tussocky to Hunt. Great Links beckoned and we responded. A drink and down to Dick's Well, not to that stone but to the actual well. Well we did have a wise old owl with us. And down past Arms over the trickle of the Lyd. Frank was not there, apparently playing golf this time.

From what can be ascertained it appears that a sole walker did venture forth this evening.

Such a nice young man. Peter on Holiday from Holland on Hare Tor. And so we all had chocolate digestives. How nice. It really is not true what they say about the Dutch in Devon. And after we had met at Lane End, headed up Ger on a perfect, typical August day; sun, fluffy clouds and a gentle breeze. On to Tavy Cleave Tor, quite a lot of people about for Dartmoor. Then, most fortuitously, up to Hare where we met Peter on Holiday from Holland. So a nice cuppa and a bicci before heading to Sharp and wending our way back through the firing range and round the leat - full of fish and we flushed a heron. To the Mary Tavy Inn which was very nice.
