TWO OLD SCHOOLBOYS IN THE MIST.

It was due to be be wet and windy - and it was - misty too. So keep the wind on your backs when up high. The three Staples followed by Roos. A sheltered spot for a quick coffee. Now, the north slope of Roos can be a nightmare of jumbled rock especially in the dark but there is the line of an old boundary wall which gives a relatively easy way through with fingers crossed and the aid of a compass we found it. The plan was to go over Cox Tor next but that was wind in your face, so we chose the valley up to the dew pond ( I always thought this looks like a glaciated valley - U shaped, facing north, no stream ) Then on back to the cars. The Witty was very quiet until the boys in red arrived looking very dry!

You really do have to be there ...
