Now that certainly sorted out the goldfish from the turkeys! To Scorriton on a very mild December day. It was rather windy and a wee bit wet and all the better for that. So, out we strode on the Two Moors Way and on through the deer gate. And there they were, resplendent red deer - weren't we lucky. Out to the open moor. The plan was to cross the wee Mardle Brook but it did look a bit too frightening. So, up, nearly to Hapsteads, before finding shelter in the old workings for a nice cuppa. Then back on the Sandy Way and through Michelcombe to the Tradesman's Arms. A pleasant lunch was taken and some even had coffee in front of the roaring woodburner.
We could mention that someone forgot to pay for their lunch, but that would just be ungentlemanly.
