So, best get the waterproofs on; proved to be a good idea. Out from Peter Tavy and up the track past the village hall. Up the steep lane and along under Little Combe Tor. Soon out into the field to check on The Green Man - looking a bit weather beaten but OK. Steadily up to the main track. Glad not to be going via the mad dogs and gloop of the Godsworthys. Past Furze Tor and out onto the open moor. Proper rain now so onward. Soon arriving at the always sombre Stephen's Grave. Not much to see, so no White Tor. Round the fields and down through the gate to Grass Lane - no frogs yet. Onto the Cudlipptown road and a bit of shelter for a cuppa by the clapper bridge up to Twyste. The main road and then down across the fields to the Tavy which was actually quite quiet. Down to the Pelton wheel at South Devon United Mine. And on it a plaque reading 'When you pass me don't forget those days gone by when my brave heart beat to the sound of a thousand men's voices echoed in water'. Up the lane to the welcoming Peter Tavy Inn. All well sat by the smoky woodburner with a slight wait for a delicious lunch.
Another very nice, damp walk.
