Tuesday 31st December Pew Tor

Starting today from the Whitchurh Inn - always nice to start from a pub.  We took footpath across to Middlemoor. Very heavy rain overnight but brightening up as we set off.  In fact there was a lot of blue sky but not where the sun was.

Through Middlemoor and then up the track which leads out to Shorts Down and on to....
















Plaster Down with Pew Tor in the distance.

Following the Grimstone and Sortridge Leat for a while before...

...going up to the little quarry on Pew Tor.

On to Pew Tor and this view across to Staple Tors...

...and the other way looking back to Plaster Down.  By now the blue sky was winning but we still couldn't see the sun...

Down past the other quarry and at last the sun came out!

To Moortown where there had obviously been a lot of localised flooding and some damage to the side of the road.  Lots of debris stuck in this gate where the stream had flooded through.

On towards the golf course looking back across to Cox Tor.

Back to the Whitchurch Inn for lunch.  With Terry, Roger, Harry and Rosemary in the pub.
