Wednesday 24th September Great Links Tor

Dull and wet at the start so nearly everybody put on their waterproofs. The result of this is that often the rain stops.We set out from the Fox and Hands taking the track up to Nodden Gate then down to the Ford.

Across Brat Tor and in the distance you could see the sky clearing.

At Brat Tor looking up at Widgery Cross. By now the rain had stopped completely and waterproofs were removed.
















The view North to Arms Tor with Great Nodden in the distance.

Over to the this disused mine cottage on the Doetor Brook where we took a little break.

Up the valley to the mine workings....

... and some discussion as to exactly what the point of this abandoned construction might have been.

















A short walk to Great Links Tor. Looking down the western edge of Dartmoor towards Hare Tor.

Then down to Little Links Tor.


















Down again to Lower Arms Tor.

 Back across the River Lyd.

Back to the Fox and Hounds where it took almost an hour for them to prepare our lunch!

With Pete, Jon, Peter, Sandra, Anne and Ian
