TWW 16th September 2025

 

Many thanks for a very nice route Charlie.

The weather was obviously going to be a bit in and out today - and so it was. Out from Princetown car park where, sadly, the car parking machines were not working. And along, along to South Hessary with views afar and good notice looking into Cornwall of when the showers would arrive. Steadily down the track and a surprise. An enclosure deep in the Hart Tor Brook valley - one theory is that the plan is to fence off all the damp places. Round the track and up to Hart with great views. A bit breezy for a cuppa so down and over the iron bridge to Black Tor Falls - always a nice spot for a cuppa. Soon time to head up to Black Tor and on to Leeden. Round by the quarry and down to Fur Tor seeking shelter from a spot of rain. Up to the railway to Foggintor to have a very nice lunch at the campsite. The goodly folk did a thorough litter pick. Up round Foggintor and yes, there was a wild swimmer seemingly just lazing in the pool. Across and down to the track and back. No sign of diving beetles but the Meavy was bubbling away.

All dry and a nice September walk.

You really do have to be there ...
