WW 13th May 2026

 


Will it rain?
Will anyone turn up?
Will the pub be open?
So many questions!!
But in the words of our leader "It'll be fine!"
Walking up to North Hess, all very dry with mysterious piles of rocks everywhere! Views from the trig point are breathtaking even on a dull evening. More shades of beige than shades of grey.
Down towards Hollow Tor, a great tor, I think, usually provides shelter for sheep.
On to Yellowmead track where the old quarry buildings are gradually falling down.
Up and over Foggintor Quarry, peering over the edge to find all is well apart the ravens' nest on the rock face.  Several years it's been missing, such a shame.
Down the long packhorse track which usually has sheep, ponies and cattle. But today, none.
Is this what rewilding means?
Will be a sad sad day if that happens.
Back to the track, but the bubbling spring was no longer there either.
Walking faster, straight down to back door of the P of W, straight in and ordered our drinks.
Success at last!.
All's well that ends well!!

Brenda

You really do have to be there ...
