A calm, peaceful evening to set out from Dunnabridge. Down the track which is often so, so muddy but today dusty! To West Dart by what was Fisherman's Bridge and on to the fantastic Swincombe Meet Stepping Stones and the glorious plantation of Scotch Pine, called Stennats. On to the Swincombe stones and round by the timber piles. Up and over and down through Hexworthy, over the lovely bridge and up to dependable St. Raphael's for a quiet pause and a cuppa. And then, as ever on a Wednesday Walk, the unexpected - someone singing beautifully into the VR letterbox and further up the road three young girls just sitting in the road having a chat - these peaceful evenings are wonderful. Onward to Huccaby Tor, where we lifted three big Red Deer stags, to Brimpts buddles and mine where the whim is totally dry - no sign of the centre stone. Down the track to the cars and on to the Two Bridges where we sank into the Chesterfields with Wheat Beer.
