A highly select team set out from Smeardon Quarry on a wonderful September morning.
Up the road for a wee bit then down to check on the Green Man - all OK. Along, along by Little Combe Tor for a very nice swing. Over the bridge and up to a very enticing swimming pool. Softly up by Great Combe to pop out under Cox. Round the track and 'through' the OS anomaly - just where is that mapped enclosed land? Down to the Wedlake gate and through to cross the Colly Brook and a nice spot for a cuppa. The steady climb toward White was enhanced by huge field mushrooms. Soon by the flagpost and views to infinity and beyond. No red flag here but we could hear the pops and bangs from Bagga Tor. Down through more thufurs by Lower White to Grass Lane. Down to the clapper bridge over Broadmoor Brook and up. Time to check on Twyste; all seems just as it was, perhaps one day someone will turn it into a nice dwelling. Soon back to the cars and on to a most welcoming and somewhat quiet Peter Tavy Inn.
A really super morning to be out.
