A jolly fine morning to set out from a very, very busy Parke. To enjoy warm weather, beautiful woodland and marvellous fungi. Parke Wood to start and out by Blackmoor Copse. Down the road to the the Wray Valley Trail and along the trackbed. Popping out and the steep pull up at Knowle. And then a real treat, yet another brand new tor, presumably Higher Knowle Tor. A very nice spot to sit in the sunshine for a cuppa. The woods have some really beautiful fungi particularly the well named Magpie Ink Cap where quite a few specimens had our close attention. Steeply down by the bitey dog to marvel at the manor house Plumley, sharing its name with one the many mines around about. To find the high track by the river to bend us back to Parke for a jolly fine luncheon in Home Farm cafe surrounded by Dianne's beautiful pictures.
A very nice autumnal walk indeed.
