A glorious morning to be back on Dartmoor leading a walk with my old friends. A hard frost and bright sunshine. Coincidentally it was 5 years to the day since we had left. Thirteen on the walk and almost a full house. A favourite area and a place once taken for granted. We started from just below Pew Tor and walked across to Windy Post going past Feather Tor. Up the steeper bit to Cox Tor and down to the pond for a coffee break. There was some ice on the pond which obviously needed to be investigated. Then over Great Staple Tor and past the old Merrivale mine workings. On to Heckwood Tor and over the top of Pew Tor. All this was followed by an excellent lunch in the London Inn.
