Now that was quite a change. After four days of lying snow and ice all back to normal. Nice and misty and gloopy to set out from Oakley Cottage. All the snow has gone - who knows where? Steadily up to Pew, which loomed large, and down the track, across the leat to Feather. To Windy Post - always a nice spot whatever the weather. Along the leat for a nice cuppa sat on the wheelwright's stone. Round the bend by the aqueduct. Perhaps crossing the leat a bit too early as the pixies tried their best. Windily down to the Vixen Tor ramparts where the super strong locked gate could easily be opened. But no; down and round. Must have gone underneath Heckwood I suppose. Dim lights of Pew Tor Cottage showed the turning point back to Pew and down. So, goodly time for a refreshing pint in the Whitty. But, NO, all well shut up for a winter break.
A pleasant, mild, proper Dartmoory evening.
