From the Fox and Hounds, up the track to Nodden Gate. Then northwards, along the King Wall, to the King Wall Cross. After a quick look at the cross, we changed course and headed up, up, up, to the top of Great Nodden. After a break to enjoy the views, and a team photo, we headed north to pick up the course of the tramway to “the points”. Here was an ideal place to get out of the cooling breeze and stop for a brew. Suitably refreshed, we headed on across Lake Down to pick up a path down to the Lake Viaduct. On reaching the viaduct, we were met with the sad sight of a flock of sheep six of which were dead, possibly killed by dogs. A quick phone call to notify the livestock protection officer before we continued along the Granite Way to Bridestowe Station. A short stroll up the road, and we were back at our starting point, and lunch. (And for those who missed out, the chips were excellent J !)
