Just, one of those sublime evenings. Where I suppose in reality nothing much happens; it is all so, so subtle. To spend two hours enjoying the sunset is fabulous.
Out from Oakley Cottage in bright sunshine and wanderingly to the quarry. Despite all the rain of the past 24 hours almost empty with green algae. Last time we visited there were 30+ smallish goldfish and now there seem to be one or two great big ones - how can that be? Hope they survive. Up to Pew and down to the dew pond which was quite healthy. Onward to Heckwood as the sun gently eased and down. Up round Vixen Tor - of course we did not go in. To find a really super benchlike rock for a cuppa and to gaze at the light show. Up to the leat and round a bit before taking the old track to Windy Post. On back to Pew when discretion led us to don torches. To the cars and to the Whitty - which was rammed. It was quiz night.
And; if we had got there two hours earlier and if we got all the questions right, then the jackpot decider question would have netted us £245. Wow.
So, another really super evening walk - thanks Dartmoor.
