What a difference a
few hours make!!
After a day of
torrential rain, lightning, thunder and flooding in Tavistock Brenda and I set
off from Lowery Cross in glorious sunshine to enjoy a lovely eve walk up
through Peekhill Plantation to Peek Hill to enjoy the magnificent views of
Burrator Reservoir, looking very low despite all the precipitation of late. On
to Sharpitor then down to cross the road at Leeden Tor car park, down the track
to join the disused railway line for an easy stroll Westwards, over the ‘new’
bridge crossing the road and back to the cars. A delightful warm eve with
plenty of new calves playing, rabbits and wheatears a plenty, even two of the
latter in a hole in a wall, nesting?? On a cheery note that was the last of the
long evenings for 2020, 1 min less daylight next Wednesday!!
