It was still there despite it being only a few days to the start of May, I am talking about that chilly wind that seems to have dogged us since Christmas.
So off from Lowrey cross where we met the only other people that evening. Along the top of Yennadon to the trig point dropping down through the swathes of flowering gorse to the leat. An easy walk along the bank to cross the road and follow the newly extended track to the forest edge. Up a bit through the boulders and the quarry workings, all moss and beautiful spreading oaks, eventually emerging onto the open moor just below Leather tor. A stop for a quick cuppa in the relative shelter of the rocks and then on to Peek Hill, down to the wall corner and another vastly extended path back to the cars. Plenty of time for a pint in the Burrator - jolly fine.
