Wednesday 17th April Sourton

Good to have the longer daylight hours again on a very windy evening and just three of us for the  walk from Sourton.

Up past the church to the gate with Sourton Tors in the distance.

We looped under Sourton Tors as the sun was getting lower over Cornwall.

Up to the points,  Great Links Tor in the distance which came in and out of view in the swirling mists.

Then up to the Tiger Marsh crash site - strange how we don't come here for months and then twice in a matter of weeks.

By now the light was going fast. Gren Tor in the middle distance and Great Links Tor behind.

Upwards we continued to the very, very windy Bransombe's Loaf where we took our break and then down over Sourton Tors.  By now the moon had come out.  Finally to the Bearslake Inn. With Jon and Mike

Tuesday 14th August Sourton

So with the forecast of heavy rain we tailored the walk to suit and what did we get? A lovely sunny morning just perfect for a picnic!

Walk and talk and up the hill we went.

Past Sourton Tors.

 With Yes Tor ahead...

...and Meldon Reservoir to our left...

...we turned towards Great Nodden. 

On Great Nodden with Great Links Tor behind.

Looking towards Arms Tor and Brat Tor.

Then we were on our way down again...

...to the Granite Way...

...with this very old railway building beside the cycle path.

And before we knew it we were back at Sourton church..

 ...with the sundial above the door and many of the gravestones showing similar carved faces like the one below.

















With Harry, Rosemary, Terry, Roger, Carol and Charlie.  Bud and Brian were waiting at the end of the walk.
