A jolly fine, proper nice, day to be out on the moor. Out from the green and round, up by the flagpole onto the ridge. The wind and rain managed to make a fair impression but we found nice shelter for our cuppa. Out along by Oke and down the old track to Knack Mine. Gently up and steadily on to a breezy Steeperton for our picnic. The path took us steadily across Steeperton Brook and up to Hound. The weather bowled through giving snapshot views all around. The nice steady track took us down to the Taw and across by the ford with barely a wet foot. Back along the track by the waterworks, checking that Field Marshall is still there.
And then a real treat, some wise one had booked us into The Old School Tea Rooms; jolly nice with china cups, lashing of tea, scones, clotted cream and a lovely selection of jams. And, by the time we got back we were all nicely blown dry.
