It was to be a snow walk with ISS sighting.
Well on the way there, it was raining in Tavistock, a bit sleety at Pork Hill, snowing at Rundelstone and approaching a blizzard at Two Bridges, so no chance of the ISS.
The wind was certainly stronger than forecast so, after donning all the appropriate gear, we decided to reverse the planned route. Along the track to Wistmans Wood where we paused briefly for a cuppa whilst there was still a bit of shelter. Now it is always more difficult following tracks when the snow has covered them, so with some concentration we passed the end of the wood and turned up towards Longaford Tor. Turning south there with our backs to the wind it did seem to have eased a lot. On along the ridge the sky was clearing and the stars appeared, past Lettaford Tors and suddenly it became a perfect winters evening.
Although later than intended the Prince Of Wales was still open and very welcoming.
You only experience it if you are there!
