Catch it while you can ... Superb weather to take the Dartmoor Explorer from Two Bridges. It was really busy. And out to Postbridge to have a brief peruse of the wonderful visitor centre. Steadily up and out over Braddon Lake to the open moor at Broadun Rocks for a nice tea stop. A guy there was part way through running 12 marathons in 12 days - wooo. Along the wall as the sun shone brightly and up to Samuel (Braddon) Tor. The sheep trods took us down and softly across the top of Hollowcombe to Brown's House - still unoccupied. Easily over the West Dart and up the wide, wide highway to Rough for a spot of lunch. A lovely cooling breeze and views to forever and beyond. Crow Tor beckoned so we made our way on the super soft ground where lots of ponies were enjoying the air. Back over the West Dart and along to Wistman's. The Buller stone was very clear today and quite a few people were enjoying this traditional English summer. Back along by Crockern Farm to the cars. A most pleasant day to be out and about. Nice and warm, springy underfoot, lovely clouds and sunshine - Nice,
