What a wonderful morning to be out walking. Fresh glistening snow. Sunshine, very little wind.We couldn't wait, could we? What could go wrong?
We e e ll !! Nowhere to park, that's what. Too much snow ! Yes really, so after a consultation with the leader of our intended walk, we went back to reliable Princetown and started our walk from there. Easy peasy, I thought as we trudged through deep snow to North Hess, Oh no it wasn't! At least one us was gasping oh yes we were.
Panto time was here.
But no respite, photo taken next to trig point and off again. Down to Hollow, a much underrated tor for a very quick drink and off again down to the Yellowmead track.
Up past Foggintor, no time to explore, anyway too slippery for us oldies!!
Tis' a killer trying to walk rough ground disguised with about 3 inches of snow, but we reached the rough old track, which I think is part of the Dartmoor Way back to Princetown. The views were breathtaking, the walking hard and the POW a welcome place to have a sit down and a bite to eat, joined by some who for one reason or another couldn't make the walk.
Oh and the delightful Elsie who was very entertaining.
So all's well that ends well
See you next week, Princetown is SO popular, you know!
