"I'm glad it was 'im and not us!"
Well, 75% of those in attendance certainly agreed with that!
There he was and then there he wasn't.
He certainly went in a long, long way.
Proper wet, wet, wet.
After the relatively trouble free trek out to Shilstone.
On a lovely July evening.
Following the tracks out towards Cosdon.
Then finding a not too wet way to Raybarrow where the tinners worked and ducks rose.
Chasing the sun and grouse up to the crest as the full moon appeared behind.
To the White Moor stone and gently down by the boundary stones under Kennon.
The peat track was most impressive as we windled our way round Kennon.
A remarkably dry journey for most all.
To Shilstone and somehow to the Northmore Arms.
Which was as totally brilliant as ever.
Then the pixies took over as we made our way through Chagford and found Adley Lane.
Is it a road? Is it a track? Is it really there?
