WW 3rd August 2016
Just two of us for the evening walk. This had been designated a committee walk and both of us had a different route planned. We took the track down from Ringmoor Cottage, where a deer briefly came into view before disappearing again. Then turned up past Yeo Farm before going into the Bluebell Woods. Neither of us had been in the woods before when the Bluebells were not out and most disappointing it was too. Definitely a place to visit only when the bluebells are out. Up through Sheepstor and on to the open moor south of Pixies House. The plan had been to follow the wall around on the open moor but we found a track just north of Yellowmead. This is not marked as a footpath but we decided to give it a go. It was much overgrown in places and unlikely we will return. Around the boggy corner by the car park then up to Gutter Tor, past the trig point and back to the cars. We didn't stop much and completed the walk by 9:30p.m. He had to get back to put someone's chickens away so we didn't even make it to the pub!
