Rather too much excitement for a Tuesday walk ... after such a promising start.
Plenty of signs of autumn: crab apples, sloes, hips and haws, rowan, house martins. Out from Bedford Bridge on a morning that steadily warmed up. Up onto the Down and out along. Past the huge settlement and round by Berra. To Raven's Tor for a cuppa. Down, down heading for Double Waters.
Who could resist the opportunity for a trip through the leat tunnel?
But, unfortunately, the low roof claimed a victim. After a dressing our brave companion carried on as we wend out way back to the cars past the most incredible Robin's Pincushion.
For those remaining a trip to the London Inn, for others a trip to Tavi minor injuries!
