WW 3rd August 2022

 

Time to go and check on Burrator. And it is low, low, low. That bit of rain we had today has had no effect at all. So over Yennadon, by the post and down by Click Tor to the dam. Lovely views out and over to Lether Tor. Round on the beach for a quick chat with the solitary goose. At Sheepstor Dam the recently emerged mud showed just how much the level must be falling day by day. Along the old road from Longstone to Narrator Farm and over the old bridge. To the earlier headwaters where a crossing was considered ... After a bit of a search a track out was found. Round and up the once muddy trail to the leat and back to the cars.

The very comfortable and welcoming Burrator Inn made a nice spot to end a very pleasant Wednesday walk. Oh - don't forget your torch from now on.


You really do have to be there ...
