WW 12th February 2025

 

The night of the full Snow Moon.

So, out from Ringmoor Cottage with the most amazing mackerel sky. Up the track and bendily round to Brisworthy Stone Circle. Good visibility with the moon lighting up the sky. Over Legis Lake and round the wall to seek out the gateway. Gently up toward Legis and a quick check on the vermin trap. To the summit in the fabulous light. Over the stile and along the fence to steer in the direction of Ditsworthy with the Plym gleaming below. The warren house made a nice sheltered spot to stop for a cuppa. The moon popped out from the clouds now and then - a wonderful sight. By the track and the wiggle as the way up to Gutter Tor stood out clearly in the moonlight. It all looked very busy at the Scout Hut but we saw no soldiers - perhaps they saw us. To the trig point and back along to the cars.

The Burrator Inn was well closed so on to the ever reliable Rock for a warm welcome and a cooling pint. A jolly nice winter's evening to be out on the moor.

You really do have to be there ...
