Just the right blend of weather for the moor. Gentle rain, a brisk wind, sunshine and cloud.
Out from Harford Moor Gate and along the track by Hangershell to Spurrell's Cross - definitely Celtic tones. Out to the distant Ugborough Beacon for a cuppa. Down and round past Creber's Rock - remember him? Over the ford and onto the ridge. Along to Butterdon and past Black Pool. Western Beacon and the quarries beckoned then into the breeze to gently contour back. The Puffing Billy track and Butter Brook guided us to the cars.
Then where? To the Cornwood Inn, closed and up for sale. Moorland at Wotter, shut tight. So on to the DT's for bargain lunches.
