A really fine, sunny day to head out by the cattle grid on the way to Sherberton. Over to inspect the water pipe portal and on to Gobbett Mine. By the rushing Swincombe to Fairy Bridge - and there she was, nicely sheltered. To John Bishop's to admire the lintels (again) and up the lane through Swincombe village. Back a bit and round to the stone circle - apparently one of the largest on the moor. Along the track and over Rue Lake to something completely new. The old engine house for the aerial ropeway taking timber from Brimpts to the rail-head at Princetown. Back a bit more and on to find the gateway. By the lovely cist and the three tall stones to a very busy reservoir. The pipe track took us back to Fairy Bridge and then the old lane up and over back to the cars as a vigorous squall went by. A warm welcome at a very quiet Forest Inn and plenty of time for a chat before lunch arrived
