“It was a dark and stormy night”- no hang on it wasn’t - there was still light in the sky as I drove to the RV, it wasn’t raining for a change, it was a clear night, and only a light breeze.
Just the two of us. Off under the amazing viaduct through plenty of mud and water. There were storm blown trees blocking the usual path, so it was through the wood to the wall corner above Horrabridge. A pleasant diagonal path led to the seat near the top of the hill, where there are panoramic vistas of the western margins of the moors, a stunning place to sit on a warm sunny day. Following the ridge path past Long Ash to find another seat for a cuppa whilst looking over the lights of the Walkham valley. Down and over Grenofen Bridge where the car park is worse than ever with huge pot holes full of water. Along the valley to cross Gem Bridge, always a joy, then diagonally down to the river path and back to the cars on a very muddy track. Just in time for a pint in the London Inn before it closed.
A jolly good walk on old familiar territory.
