Gunny Car Park
Nice to welcome Brother Mike and Alfie again. We headed out of the car park past the Surgery where you can get drugs at any time, day or night!
Up steeply to Lower Dimson. Someone had the bright idea of cutting through a housing estate to reach the footpath down, down, down to the river. Just a few brambles and we were there but only three and a dog. “Where are you?” Came a plaintive cry.
On along the shady path but too much chat and not enough concentration- check back!
The old mine works and chimney now almost buried and the rustic but beautiful artisan fence put up by the AONB gently rotting away. Shame!
Up through the wood to rejoin the main path then down and up again. I had thoughts of going on up to have coffee in Peter’s field for the sunset but our feet just wouldn’t take us past the White Hart pub in Chilsworthy. Looking a bit sad and the promised ‘stunning views over the Tamar Valley’ obscured by dustbins and overgrown vegetation. Shame!
Then down, down, down through North Dimson, then Middle Dimson missing out Higher Dimson. Enough of these up and down Dimsons.
