There is always a Wednesday walk each autumn when it suddenly seems much darker than the week before, this was it, added to by thick mist and rain. "Proper Dartmoor."
The dictionary describes a gully as a water worn ravine or deep artificial channel and we set of to find some of them on the southern side of Cramber Hill. Goodness those ancient miners certainly did a lot of digging around there. A short stop for coffee by the Older Bridge track then down another gully to the beautiful Newlycombe Lake which seemed rather mysterious and longer than usual in the conditions. Along the leat to Older Bridge and back. Someone said it was 'purgatory' but I rather enjoyed it.
