TWW 31st December 2019


Surprisingly cool for our last walk this decade. A cooling easterly meant we were well wrapped up to head out from the Peter Tavy Inn. Up by the Colly Brook to check on the now empty swimming pool - perhaps we will get a dip sometime next year. Up in the now expected mud by Great Combe Tor and out under Cox. Gently round and down to take the track by Wedlake. Over the brook and shelter for a nice cuppa. Up the hill to Stephen's Grave for a group photo with White Tor behind. Along, along and down toward Cudliptown, then across Broadmoor Brook to Twyste. It appeared as though some tidying up had taken place with the remains of the old tractor gone. The Adriance Platt horse drawn mower still remains and the farmhouse just about stands. Along for the very fine traverse of all the Boulters and down by the church to the pub. The food arrived in good enough time and all eat a hearty lunch.
So there ends yet another decade of the Wednesday Walkers, as usual out and about in all the weather that our wonderful Dartmoor can offer. Looking at the lists it appears during the decade we completed 798 walks - a jolly fine number indeed!

You really do have to be there ...
