What a lovely serene evening,
You know, calm, not too warm, not too cool. No wind and no mist.Serene, just like us walkers!
Or was it because they were totally knackered (I wonder why) as we walked up towards Cox Tor to gaze at the reflections in the dew pond. Large herds of very pretty ponies were showing off their frisky moves, unlike us, dragging our unwilling feet uphill.
A pleasant stroll over a shallow saddle towards Roos passing the Duke of Bedford boundary stones which forbids stone cutters from taking stone from Roos Tor.
Refreshments taken just below the flag post, no warning flags flying today, our fighting forces are on holiday!
Going downhill now to the great rock stacks of Staple Tor, even more downhill to Middle Staple, nice views from there, especially of the cars!
Down down and more down to the road. Ponies have all gone, who knows where. Just a short walk now to our cars.
Was that a sigh of relief I heard?
Back to the Whitty for a refreshing, nay, a drowsy, making drink before back home and bed!! Zzzzz!
Zxzzzzz.
