Now there was a real shock. I mean a real shock. All warm and sunny at home. But at Cumsden the clouds were low and a cold east wind blew. Luckily all had top coats. Soon the skies cleared and a perfect day for walking ensued - warm and sunny with a nice cool breeze.
A most intriguing walk with lots and lots to see, lots and lots to step over and a few to fall into. Down to start to find Week Ford then round to the fantastic Beara House and hut circle. To Saddle Bridge to explore where the generator once stood. On to the very picturesque O-Brook by Horse Ford to Dry Lake and on to Hooten Wheals. The consensus was we just had to explore Hensroost Mine with its amazing wheel pit and a goodly place for luncheon. Back to the plan to the upper Hensroost gully and along by Skir Gut - for a change. Popping out onto the open, open moor gave a somewhat tussocky trail to Sandy Way and the odd H boulders. Down to the unamazing Wellaby Gulf and back to the cars by Horn's Cross.
A goodly day out.
