On a glorious sunny morning, we left Lane Head car park, heading NE on a nice steady climb to Ger Tor. The committee decided to omit the excursion to Hare Tor, opting instead to contour around the top of Tavy Cleve, before crossing the Rattle Brook by Dead Lake. A short climb took us to the firing range observation hut where we stopped for coffee (or other liquid refreshment). Contouring round Watern Oke brought us to Sandy Ford where we crossed Amicombe Brook. From there a progressively steepening ascent brought us to our goal – Fur Tor. Only to find somebody else already there (had they booked?!) A break for lunch ( apparently a small dog eat someone's eggy sandwich which is not on!), and for some a chance to play “King of the Castle”, then it was time to head westward back down hill to the Tavy. After crossing back over Amicombe Brook at Sandy Ford, we continued along the banks of the Tavy to the island above the confluence with the Rattle Brook. The sharp eyed spotted a peregrine falcon heading in the opposite direction. At the pool, we stopped while some paddled, some swam and some just chilled. Suitably refreshed, we continued along the Tavy, first on the south bank, then on the north bank to the take off for the mine leat. Along the leat to Nattor Farm and back down the track to the car park. Safely in the dry as the first few spots of rain started to fall. Timing is everything!
