We set out from the Warren House Inn up the short but steep climb to the cairn on Water Hill. Brian wasn't feeling to good so decided to return to the car. Terry accompanied him down. The rest of us set off across the moor for the car park by Fernworthy resevoir.
By the time we had reached the picnic area we had been joined first by Huxley and then Terry. After a short break with a few treats to celebrate the new year we set off around the reservoir.
The track out of the forest was a long uphill stretch but he forest was very pretty in the the winter snow.
We left the forest by the gate on Assycombe Hill. It was noticeably much colder on the open and exposed moor. We returned over the more rugged terrain to the track to take us back to the Cairn and then down to the Warren House Inn where Brian was still waiting and a good lunch followed in the Warren House Inn
