It was mild, not windy, and not really raining. But it was really misty. Again !!
After a few minutes of murky plod we crossed the road at Goad Stone pool and the very depleted stone row.
As we ascended the shoulder of land between Sharpitor and Peek Hill an element of light began to clear our view. Past the DPA stone and onward to the shortish longhouse. Then up to Peek Hill and remnants of RAF Sharpitor and the fascinating ROC bunker.
Now down to the beautiful (OS map unmarked) Lowery Tor to have a cuppa and watch the mists dissolving over Burrator Reservoir.
Next down the windy path into the quarries of Lowery Stent. Here a couple of sett makers benches found and then more as Team TWW got their eyes in to the tell tale piles of chipped granite. Maybe 7 or 8 benches discovered. To be explored further another day.
Through the lovely mossy oaks to join the leat and old meadows of Lowery Farm. Following the leat on to Stanlake and its complex walls of history from Bronze Age to 1930's.
Team TWW again coming up trumps to find the Stanlake secret stone row incorporated into the main boundary wall near Black Tor.
Up to Black Tor for lunch and stunning views as sun emerges gilding far horizons of English Channel.
Last leg of journey across to Leedon Tors and back down to a now mist free carpark.
