WW 10th September 2025

 

Brenda’s car was being repaired ready for its MOT so a decision was made to meet at Princetown car park. Off past the evasive soldiers' pond and on to Heart Tor, the ground now thoroughly wetted from all the recent rain, so different from a couple of weeks ago. The hope of a good sunset not yet materialising (in fact it never did). On down to Black Tor falls and along to the well gated aqueduct. Now it must be about 25 years since I have been to the top of Raddick  Hill - I now know why!  From this rather unspectacular top it was down to the cairn and up to Cramber Tor for a cuppa where a few hints of the rising moon started to show. On to the trig point where it did make a spectacular appearance from behind the clouds. A bit of difficulty finding the start of the track to South Hessary and thence on down to the Plume of Feathers where we were served drinks at 10.00 and lots of interest in where we had been.
  A good little round without any rain.

You really do have to be there ...
