To a world of frogs, stars and planets.
A cooling nor' wester greeted us at Leeden Tor car park but the promise of a starlit evening was too good to miss. Up Leeden and on to find the track down to Lydford Tor. A tad early but the tramway bridge was a sheltered spot for a cuppa. Venus still super bright in the evening sky with the other planets lining up. A good time to see them as we will have to wait until 2040 for another planetary alignment. Up quite easily to the railway track and round. Frogs and frog spawn everywhere - goodness me they have been busy, hope a frost doesn't catch them. The cars made it quite easy to find the track to Devil's Elbow. Over the road to inspect the work to slow the Meavy - seems to be working a bit. Out by way of the rifle range to Hart; the moor is just so, so wet at the moment. Down the wide track to the metal bridge under Black and along the leat. Soon time to wander back up to the road and cars.
All that frog and planet spotting meant we missed the pub, but worth it on such a nice evening.
