What an amazing day for a walk - is this an Indian Summer? Who knows, but it is jolly nice. Out from by Mary Tavy to round Gibbet Hill to drop into Brentor with its lovely old railway station. Up by Church No.1 to find the lanes and fields to bring us up to Church No.2, the totally wonderful St. Michael de Rupe. A church has been there since 1130! It makes a great place for a cuppa and views far and wide right out to where we will be by the seaside next week. Gently down to the old road to Wortha Mill where two railway lines used to pass, the GWR and L&SWR. And up and on to a most welcoming Mary Tavy Inn.
(For some an added treat as they headed out to Roborough Down to see the Devil's Fingers - 20 or more. They should be around for a week or so at SX 5055 6095 - well worth a trip.)
