From Zoar, via the Methodist Chapel (no orchids today ☹) to Horndon. Down the lane to the leat. Along to Hill Bridge across the fields and up the road to Baggator Gate. Taking the Lych Way to Standon Steps and then to Willsworthy Bridge. A shortage of time prevented a visit to Wheal Jewell Reservoir, so it was straight down the road to the cars and then to the Mary Tavy Inn for Lunch.
Warm sun shining,
Cuckoo cuckooing,
Babbling of the stream,
Hawthorn trees laden with white blossom,
A purple haze of bluebells,
Lime green stems of bracken erect like soldiers on parade,
The staccato bangs and pops from the firing range,
Spring has sprung on Dartmoor.
