We are SO lucky, another fantastic walk on the moors
Meeting up in the almost empty car park at Dartmeet, willingly paying to park! What us?
The track wound its way through derelict chicken sheds etc, tree roots to the base of the mighty Yar, and because we are strong and like the challenge, straight up to the summit. Sounds like the mighty Himalaya!!
The views, just like the Himalayas were breathtaking (no I've never been, just seen the pictures) After looking around the maze and lots of chattering we set off downhill towards the Cave-Penny memorial cross glancing quickly at the stone row and the money pit. Waste of time as always, no sign of money. Upwards for a short time, a few good tempered whinges to Corndon tor for refreshments and more chattering.
Along the Corndon Ridge(rather long) following extra large cairns, bearing left a bit and arriving too far down.
Adjustments made Sherwell was reached, such pretty cottages etc all looked well scrubbed up passing Rogues Roost (let your imagination run riot!)
Passing over the mini clapper bright and on to open grasslands leading over the challenging paths next to the beautiful East Dart River.
Past the unused chicken sheds again and back to the slightly fuller carparks.
Lunch was served at the always welcoming POW but not always very. efficient; discussion needed here.
The chatter and banter, however was as good as ever, of course.
