Two Bridges car park - no not that way - up the road a bit and through the deep dark wood - could have done with torches early - lots of trip hazards - up past Beardown Farm with all its new camping signs - past a couple of campers sat by their fire - on up through the plantation - following the track uphill- try and find Beardown Tor - simple follow on uphill - ground getting a bit rough - time for torches - suddenly enveloped in thick mist - not so simple now - a bit of a wander round - then there it is flagpole and all - compass out to take us down the valley to the leat - my goodness some of the grass has reached excessive heights this year - along the leat to the weir - an easy peasy crossing - not much water - a stop for a drink on the wall - over the stile - up a bit to find the track along the valley - past Wistmans Wood - goodness the track goes on forever - suddenly there is Crockern Farm - a short walk along the drive back to the cars- late - all the pubs firmly shut with lights out - never mind - good to be out!
