Wednesday 31st December Beardown Tor

Weatherwise what a difference a day makes. A little warmer, a stronger wind and foggy at least at the start. Starting from Two Bridges and going clockwise we set off along the road before taking footpath leading out to Beardown Farm.

Out over Beardown Hill....

....to one of the three tors that make up Beardown Tors

As we went down to the weir there was a change as the fog lifted and patches of blue sky appeared.

We took our break by the weir which was icy and rather than cross here...

...it was decided to cross the river a little further down.  There was still some ice on these and they were slippery. Unfortunately one person got a little wet.

Next up to Higher White Tor to return along the ridge line with much dramatic lighting in front of us.

Looking back to Longaford Tor.

Down to the stile below Little Bee Tor.

Unusually for us it had been previously decided that we would go to the Fox Tor Cafe in Princetown for lunch but with many people on holiday it was very busy and some decided to go to the pub instead.

With Pete, Cath, Peter, Sandra, Bill, Jane, Ian, Terry and Jon.
