WW 7th August 2019


Chirring and a couple of sightings and a really lovely evening to be out on our moor. From the car park where lots and lots of campers were having a jolly time by the river. To wind up the forestry track by the hut circles and out by the wall. Out along up where the Rowan trees are getting well established to check on Laughter Tor Cross sleeping in the wall. Down to the sheepfold for a nice cuppa then down to the wonderful standing stone to wonder whether they are red deer or red cattle. By the track to the gate and water tank and the pull up to Bellever Tor - with the sun setting and views as far as could be seen. Nice and slowly down as the dimpsy slowly, slowly crept in to wait and wait at our cross roads for them. And they were there but not over abundant or over noisy. Back to the cars, a quick check that the East Dart was shut, and on to the reliable Prince of Wales to admire the Axminster and down a nice pint.

You really do have to be there ...
