WW 6th March 2024

 

A very nice evening indeed, quite a lot of light left in the sky to drive to Two Bridges. Just a cooling southerly breeze after a dry, sunny day. So along to Crockern Farm and up the track. Hopes of seeing the Tiangong for the first time; but too much cloud in the wrong place. Over the wall and the very gentle climb to the corner stile. A very wide track now leads the way faithfully to Little Bee and Littaford. Now what could that be (!) lights in the distance. Along, along toward Longaford where some nicely, noisy folk were having a good time on Little Longaford. Surely they would not choose to camp in such an airy place - perhaps just plentiful beer. A nice sheltered stop for a cuppa in the lee of Longaford and the clear, clear track down toward Wistman's. All sheltered and warm down here for the always long walk back to the stile, still warning of the fire risk, and to the cars. Not too surprised by now at the warm welcome at the Two Bridges and very comfortable seats in the window - they always put the most enticing people there to bring in the crowds.

So, a most pleasant evening, even without the usual snow. But, with our guarantee, we can return at the same time next year at no extra cost to look for snow.

You really do have to be there ...
