WW 10th December 2025

 

Now that really was quite something ...

The day before had been so, so stormy but all was calm and mild at Meavy School, although the roads were still rivers. Out along and over the bridge. Round the bend at Marchant's Cross and up the lane. Yeo Farm was looking very Christmassy as we headed up the track by the fields. The bluebells are well tucked in but some shoots hinted at life to come. Over all the stiles and out under a full starlit sky. Soon at Sheepstor village and onto the dam which made a very peaceful stop for a cuppa. By the edge of a fully full reservoir where lots of quite large fish seemed to be resting near the edge. Over the roaring dam and down the water board track. The gate was not locked so in we went and down, down to get the full effect of the waterfall - what a sight! Along the muddy track and back to the cars for the usual warm welcome at the Burrator Inn.

All this rain has made some wonderful sights.

You really do have to be there ...
