All but our leader braved the trip into Cornwall on a cloudy day with just a brief shower to wake us all up.
Two days of heavy rain over the weekend ensured that the walk to view Goliath Falls was worth while with plenty of water in the River Fowey descending to the coast. After 45 minutes exploring the valley we returned to the car park for coffee, unfortunately “Inkies” wasn’t open. being Tuesday.
It was then over Draynes Bridge and up the road to pass through the heavily barbed wired gate where we made our way into the rough pasture to cross the road by the tractor to make our way down the narrow lane next to the stream to Common Moor, where there is quite a bit of building and renovating going on. It was then time to cross a wooden bridge and step ladder stile to take us up the hill with views down to Siblyback reservoir. On reaching the lake it was time for lunch with the majority choosing to purchase takeaways from the café. Unfortunately vegetarian Boritto was not to Tylo’s taste although they were enjoyed by others. A circuit of the lake, over the dam followed a short climb across the farm land where there were 2 Lamas in with the cattle and sheep.
We then dropped into the village by the tractor where the farm shop proved a hit, followed by a return to the cars. New ground for many proved to be a hit.
