TWW 8th February 2022

 

A grey but dry morning saw us set off from the forest car park at Postbridge, down the road for an obligatory photocall on the clapper bridge.  Across the road and through the meadow to the “bamboo gate” by Hartyland.  Onward and upwards to Hartland Tor, and a debate as to which lump of rock is actually the summit.  Continuing northwards, we soon reached the beehive hut.  An ideal spot to stop for a brew.  Suitably refreshed, we headed west along the north bank of the East Dart to the waterfall.  Here some managed to cross the river with dry feet, while others opted for a paddle.  A gentle climb to Broadun Rocks where we were greeted with the sight of a military plane undergoing low altitude flying practice.  Downhill to Braddon Lake, then on to the drove lane, and back to our starting point.  A classic walk.

You really do have to be there ...
