Well, it was a lot cooler than one person thought
As usual lots of amazing things to see
Out from the farthest car park
And along the ridge past the hut circles, cairn and reave
Round the corner to King's Barrow for a warming cup
Down, down to Heathercombe to the "AND THE KINGDOM" fishes
Out along the Mariner's Way from Bideford to Dartmouth
Through the fields past all the lovely cows and calves
To West Combe where the chickens, guinea fowl and running ducks roam
The Ash House was most interesting
Onwards back to the main road where our leader
Had noticed this amazing sign
Just what can it be?
Well I contacted the OS and it is not an OS marker.
It is a cast iron GPO marker showing the distance to an underground cable.
At that time the GPO was a government department.
Most likely Edward VII I guess.
Isn't learning (and ignorance) a wonderful thing?
Cars and the Warren House where it was so cold they had lit the fire!
