A lovely warm, sunny eve for two of us to set off from
Ringmoor Cottage across the NE edge of Lynch Common to pick up the Yeo Farm
lane and on through Burrator Wood, amazing how long the track is with no
bluebells to look at! Down into Sheepstor Village to admire the view of the
church with the Tor behind. On through the lanes to the reservoir where we were
able to walk right round the edge of the water to the remains of the
foundations for the Southern end of the suspension bridge that was in use while
the dam so was being built. Good to explore from water level and clamber round
it, such fun! Hordes of people out enjoying the late eve sunshine with their
picnics, great to see. Over the dam to take the track through the woods to
Meavy, over the delightful stepping stones to scramble through the thick
bracken and gorse, glowing red in the setting sun, to the lane across Lynch
Common to the cars, to admire the brilliant rising almost full moon. A splendid
evening.
