A walk close to home this evening, the flattest walk to be found in this area!
The select group is growing, Liz joined us again, so must be enjoying it. She has rediscovered the magic!!So, off down the Drake cycle track which follows in part the train track from Plymouth to Princetown.
Fair bit of tarmac and very new complicated gates, past the houses of Chub Tor who enjoy wonderful views over the Meavy valley, Olderwood, Hoo Meavy and beyond.
'B' boundary stone at chub was pointed out, one of four apparently.
Across the bottom of Clearbrook, passing the Skylark, resisting the temptation for a quick drink, and turning on to the Dartmoor way (West Devon Way) following again the old railway bed under bridges, rather nice actually.
Up a track beside some very nasty barbed wire, and up to forbidden land!!!!
We have become (whisper it)
Trespassers United.!!!!
See what the infamous Mr Darwhal has started!
The site of Yelverton railway station was pointed out to us, the footpath leading to it still in good condition, well it would be wouldn't it, it's private.
A few snowdrops around and back out to the church car park.
The Rock was fairly empty but welcoming. A good laugh and chat was enjoyed before setting off home for an early night!!
It's getting lighter folks,
How about it then ?
