And rather a nice day to go exploring the Tavy valley out of the blowy easterly. From Peter Tavy and down to the river to explore Devon United Mine. So much to see ... first the Thomson Turbine which produced electricity for the mine. To the adit which looked most encouraging. Then on to all the old buildings slowly disappearing into the woods. The arsenic calciners still stand proud and the deep shafts disappear into the ground. Up through the fields and out to Cudlipptown. Along the road and down to Horndon Bridge for a nice cuppa. Up to Horndon itself, by the old chapel and down to Bennett's Reservoir. Along the channel for the power station and out to Kent's Tor. All along and back to cross the Tavy and on to a very, very busy Peter Tavy Inn.
And, as we left the cold rain started to fall.
