A true Dartmoor aficionados evening and a perfect opportunity to extend the envelope of all that our wonderful moor has to offer - Yes, it was tipping it down and blowing a gale. Venford the best possible place to start to wend in the lee on the pipe track above the Dart. Under Aller Brook Tor and on to the clapper bridge. Steadily up to get the benefit from the south westerly to Combestone where the benchmark was easily found. A wee bit too exposed for a cuppa so onwards and southwards to Horn's Cross then a turn to place the weather behind to seek out the triple stone row that isn't and down to find the Venford boundary. The stile took us into the shelter and the pathside bench provided a goodly place for a cuppa. Back to the cars and to the Forest Inn which was as busy as usual. (Just who are the people in there?) Back as a badger snuffled about.
