The plan was to see the Hares again.
Back to typical Dartmoor weather when we arrived at Cox Tor Car Park. Donning full wet weather gear we watched a little girl chasing around on roller skates enjoying the rain.
We set off into the mist towards Prowtytown Rocks and on down to look over the field walls but no hares were out to play tonight. Probably snuggled down in the undergrowth. Along and up - the grass decked out in raindrop diamonds. At last to skirt round Pew Tor Quarry and on to the Tor itself. The rain eased and no wind so a pleasant coffee stop.
We threaded our way down through rocks to the big track to Vixen, safely through the boggy bit. No trespassing tonight.
So many paths none seemingly going in quite the right direction, however we arrived neatly over the little stream by a boundary stone and on over the leat, time to inspect the wheelwright’s stone then, lead by the old man of the Moors, back to the cars.
Wet but nice.
