The car park at Walreddon was surprisingly busy, lots of youngsters being schooled in the art of mountain biking.
It was off east along the wall then through the woods between the ponies to drop down to Grenofen where the wedding venue was eerily quiet. Over the bridge, up the stony track and on to the top of the hill where we more or less followed the wall until we found Berra Tor hiding amongst some lovely old oaks. It was down to Tavy cottage next but the fairies were busy. Walking along the river it just didn’t seem right, a quick check on direction of flow and the ever helpful phone and we were on a track neither of us knew even existed. So it was back to Tavy cottage and on along the correct track to Double Waters where the new improved access to the bridge seemed to consist of a number of very large boulders to stop the water flow from the Walkham - it didn’t seem to me to be working. On along the river and back up to the cars.
The Spoons proved that pubs can open late on a Wednesday night. They were serving food and drink until 11.00 pm and a couple of nice pints of beer and two packets of crisps cost £4.66, cheaper than a pint in many pubs!
