Not too bad at all to step out from Dartmeet; mild, windless and dry(ish). With the breeze and weather forecast to come from the sou'west widdershins seemed the best bet. Uppety up on the track to the Coffin Stone where the markings seem rather faint. Onward to cross the road and up to Yar to follow the spiral, Down to the Money Pit for various theories of its derivation. Cave Penny loomed from the mist and provided a nice marker to take the track up to Corndon. By now the breeze had come in so shelter was found for a cuppa. Out along by the huge cairns to find Cathanger Rock - did a wild cat once rest here? Whatever, the fine gnarled hawthorn is hanging on. Down and down to seek the road and round by Sherwell and Rogue's Roost to a Walla Brook. The muddy track took us down to the West Dart where the stepping stones looked well crossable. But no, steadily down by the beautiful river back to the cars. By now mist, rain and wind had arrived in some force so a good time to head to the Prince of Wales for lunch.
