WW 13th November 2024

 

Still no rain - a beautiful, dry, mild, calm, moonlit evening to set out from Joey's Lane.

Steadily up to Sheepstor with views far and wide, down the back and along - lots of activity at the Scout Hut. To a very peaceful Deancombe Farm where the fallen tree is making a remarkable recovery. Up through the rapidly vanishing bracken to check on the tin - nothing there. And round under Down to lift a snuffling badger going about its business. Up to the tor and a sit to try and spot the taurid meteors. Little chance with such a bright Beaver Supermoon. So, toward the reservoir gleaming clearly. Over Little Down, Snappers and Middleworth to the road. All very, very quiet. Along a bit then round the track back to Joey's. 

A very pleasant evening to be out on the moor. The forecast is for it to turn cold this weekend with the first bite of winter - we will see.

You really do have to be there ...
