The soldiers certainly provided lots of entertainment this evening. Out from Ringmoor Cott to chat with those not going to make it to the pub. Round to Brisworthy where the bashas were all set up for a long night. And round by the stone circle in the lovely evening light to pop up Legis just as the sun set. Over the stile and round to the wall corner and steadily along to Gutter Tor and there it all went a bit odd. Certainly soldiers on the skyline by the trig point and possibly soldiers disguised as pantomime cows. Some took the direct route, others the bendy way, as their paths crossed in the failing light (no torches allowed of course). Then, who were the soldiers who appeared mysteriously in the night and pixie led folk astray? Soon all were reunited to head to the Royal Oak where the Morris folk are back in rehearsal mode.
