WW 20th June 2018


The longest Wednesday evening and we were promised sunshine and a clear sky and Yes it did! From Holming Beam where the road is as smooth and on over the bumps to the crossing built by the military. Round and out and then gently down to find the fantastic rock and the more fantastic cross kindly looking over the travellers. A cooling Nor' Westerly encouraged a visit to the ancient settlement for a cuppa. Up and out to Beardown Man standing proudly with views out to Fur Tor. The breeze behind hastened our return by Lydford Tor as folk gently disappeared in the mist. Round the Beardown to pick up one of many huge tracks to the bridge. And then, yes, just as promised the sun did come out and the sun set somewhere in north east. On to a very quiet PoW.

You really do have to be there ...
