After rather a pleasant day the forecast was for rain. But, actually it turned out rather nice with the almost full Cold Moon pushing through the clouds. Out from Norsworthy and up to Snappers with plenty of visibility. Down Tor was a bit cool as a solitary paralumen popped over Gutter Tor. Steadily up to Hingston Hill where the stone circle and row was as impressive as ever. Over to Combeshead to find shelter for a cuppa as a few drops of rain fell. Gently down to Cuckoo Rock and the most welcome contouring track down. Back to the cars and on - all most nice and uneventful. But, just what is that in the road? Whatever can it be? Running ducks - not something you see every day - although a dear wise 4 year old tells me they could just be normal ducks who were running. So, to the Burrator, as tastefully decorated as usual, for a pleasant pint.
