Tuesday 6th May Black Tor

A much duller morning than the forecast suggested.  Starting from the dewpond below Sharpitor.

The view to the north with Cox Tor and Staple Tors in the distance and Ingra Tor in the middle distance.

We headed on to Black Tor

 There are two main stacks of rocks making up this tor.

Down to the nearby 'Black Tor' falls and then down the valley...

...looking across to the aqueduct taking the leat over the river

Along the leat which is flowing into the distance.

Two recently new born foals just across the leat.

Storm damaged trees from earlier in the year.

Looking back to Black Tor.

We continued along the leat for a while before taking leave of the others - up through the trees and...

...back out on to the the moor below Leather Tor.  There was some light rain as we weaved around Leather and Sharpitor back to the cars.

On to the Walkhampton Inn to join Bud, Brian and Chris.  Terry, Rosemary and Brian arrived later.
