Over the creaking "feather beds" and feet still dry. Getting warm in the October sun now so it was welcome to pause by iron machine. Did this get moved a tad ? Maybe. Looks very fine.
Up on to the Challacombe ridge. Spotty dog meets spotty horse. After welcome coffee stop the group split to enable East Birch Tor stone location hunt . Misty decided to supervise for awhile so the two groups and dogs reunited later on lower track at Hillhead Farm with reports of successful mission.
Back along the trail through Challacombe's fields and barking dogs and back over the ford towards woods and cars.
A quiet Prince of Wales welcomed us where others were busy and reluctant. Service was so fast we only just sat down in time !!
Excellent place. Excellent walk.
