TWW 28th February 2017


Bel Tor corner made a fine start for the last winter walk. And winter it certainly was with snow on the tops and a crisp wind. Down to Dr. Blackall's and round by the quarry to Leigh with the sun shining. Steadily down to Spitchwick Common and the beautiful Dart. Canoeists gave us something of a start as we had our cuppas. Past the lodge and the galloping horses to head up through the wood to the Manor. The new house with its amazing cedar shingles really looks fantastic. Pausing at the lovely St. John the Baptist, Leusdon to pay our respects to Dr. Blackall. Nearly to Ponsworthy and the ancient trackway, then the modern road back to the cars. A quick nip down to the Tavistock Inn where the heavens opened. A very nice end to the winter walks - spring tomorrow!

You really do have to be there ...
