A truly perfect evening to go out to Minions. A cooling breeze and clear skies full of promise.
A different route out this year. To the Hurlers and along by the Withey Brook. Past the quarries and abandoned farm to find the tramway. Red flags flying from Trewalla where one of the round houses still stands. Then, very neatly across the brook and up towards Twelve Men. With the sun high in the north west we easily reached the ridge to enjoy the sights. We did find a fleur de lis as we took the path round the back. With a cuppa under the ridge with the moon shining. over High Tor. Across to Bearah to admire the quarry with its wonderful crane and carvings. Lots to see there but time was pressing and the pub was calling. Across to Sharp and the track round by Wardbrook. A grasshopper warbler was heard as we contoured Cheesewring to find the cars and the ever welcoming pub.
Always worth going out to Bodmin Moor.
