Starting from Peter Tavy Church we turned off the road to one of my favourite little paths by the fast flowing Colly Brook. Up through the woods below Little Coombe Tor popping out into the fields. Just a quick check on the laughing pixie then turning right to the ever unwelcoming Lower Godsworthy Farm with its pack of barking dogs. Following the footpath, ankle deep in stinking slurry, I’m sure they’ve diverted it on purpose. Out onto the track still being jumped on by smelly paws, at least Brenda didn’t get bitten this time. A quick slosh in the clear water of the brook and on up past Higher Godsworthy, another unwelcoming place.At last out onto our beautiful Moor, the sky looking wonderful with streaks of rainbow colours. A fine coffee stop on the larger than it looks Great Combe Tor to watch a nice sunset. Then down, down a path less well travelled to find the renovated swimming pool. Why? The notice says No Swimming? I’m sure the local kids do. I do hope so, anyway we were able to release our inner child on the best swing ever.
The Peter Tavy was open and as always very welcoming.
