Starting from Harford Moor Gate we walked back down the road past the church to Harford Bridge and then through the gate to follow the river. A climb up through some rough ground to get to Tristis Rock just as the sun was about to disappear. On and upwards to Hillson's House. Then a direct route east to the River Erme. As we reached the steep bit down it was noticed that Cassie (the dog) had gone missing (she has done this before). Kevin decided to go back to Hillson's House to try and find her. We continued down and crossed the river just north of Piles Copse. As we started to go up Cassie appeared! Around Piles Corner and on to Sharp Tor. We could see Kevin's head torch below but couldn't communicate with him - except by a series of flashes. We met up with him near Piles Gate and he was reunited with Cassie who was put on the lead. A direct route back to the car park and on to the very accommodating Cornwood Inn.
or ...
Not onto the moors as usual but back down the lane to Harford Bridge.
Followed the lovely path along the Erme then up up through rough ground to Tristis rock to see the sun sinking. On to Hillsons house confused only by the arrangement of gates. The last of the colour in the sky, then down down down to the Erme, easily crossed, then up up to Sharp Tor and thence back to the cars in time for a swift pint in Cornwood.
Generally considered to be a fine walk and no mention of the lost item!
