A short and straightforward walk. Just three of us as the birthday boy was quite rightly celebrating with his beloved granddaughters. (he did manage to get the cake we had for him due to a chance meeting in the supermarket.)
So it was up the track to Deancombe then Cuckoo Rock, a bit of a circuitous route to Combshead Tor as the bracken was obscuring a lot of the paths. A leisurely coffee amongst the rocks in the sunshine then on to admire the wonderful stone row - is it straight? It looks it from one side of the huge terminal stone but not from the other!
Probably the finest stone row on the moor.
Off to Down Tor where we met the only other person of the evening he was all set up with his camera on the summit waiting (in vain unfortunately) to capture the sunset.
Off to the Royal Oak which was very welcoming but eerily empty, we were the only ones there - no Morris men and no cribbage players - most unusual.
