WW 19th July 2017


With the rain chasing after us we arrived at Postbridge. The rain soon zoomed through and a very pleasant Dartmoory evening ensued. There is always something new on our moor with more to learn and more that remains unexplained. A track we had not trod took us out to the lane. Close inspection of the letter box provided no clues as did the lane less travelled. And then, in the distance the house appeared. The famous house where, it is said, the Rolling Stones used to practice. Over the beautiful Stannon Brook Bridge to the house. From afar it looked very grand. However, closer inspection showed it was no longer lived in and in quite a poor state of repair. We hope someone comes to look after it soon as it is in a fantastic location. Up the hill behind and finally to the summit of Stannon Tor for a cuppa. As the mists gently rolled in we made our way to the amazing Sheepfold. Could anyone really have planned to grow so many potatoes here that they needed a starch factory? Back and across to Hartland Tor and the eroded lane to the cars. The East Dart was entertaining with its Otter and Newfoundland dog. 
A most interesting evening.

You really do have to be there ...
