WW 9th September 2020

Always nice to have a set of objectives and even nicer to achieve them. A surprisingly cool northerly to set off from Pork Hill. To head down to the wheelwright's stone and cottage as the sun started to dip. Swiftly across the mire to catch what was left and enjoy Vixen Tor. Where a spectral figure appeared to be walking across to the tor. To Heckwood to just check on the Devil's Fingers - no sign; be a few more weeks yet. Round Pew and along by the chisel to seek the goldfish. No sign of them but I am sure they are lurking - a nice spot for a cuppa. Along and back along the Grimstone and Sortridge Leat to hunt the bull stones. We found three but there may be more yet to find. We met a photographer at Windy Post who was waiting for the classic picture of the Milky Way above the leaning cross. Certainly all the stars were out as we headed over Barn Hill and the cars. A most pleasant evening to be out and about - and DRY feet!

You really do have to be there ...
