Boulters Tor car park was very dark and windy but not too wet. Off diagonally down to the bridge over the Colly Brook where the river was certainly showing some power due to the recent rains. Steeply up past the lovely old swimming pool, now sadly out of use due to poor water quality (while our water companies dump tons of untreated sewage into our rivers and seas.) On up past Combe Tors through the fields and out to the back of Cox Tor. A nice easy track contouring up towards the dew pond where the wind was blowing and the rain had started. There used to be a neat little path heading for Roos Tor but now thanks to quad bikes there are loads of broad tracks.
A shelter behind the tor for a cuppa. Goodness 8.30 best get a move on if we want a pint. Picking up the boundary work took us down to the gate leading through the enclosed land near Wedlake. Diagonally across the down to the track which took us back to the cars by 9.20. Not bad.
The last couple of customers were leaving the Peter Tavy inn as we arrived and the barmaid was filling in the books for the evening. But we got our pints and drank them by a still burning wood burner - perfect.
