Wednesday 27th July Haytor

A humid summer evening and a corner of the moor we don't get to often enough. Setting out from Top Tor carpark towards Chinkwell Tor.


First past Bonehill rocks then Bell Tor (and coincidentally with the sound of church bells in the distance - from Widecombe?) plus a minature whirly-bird hovering around.



On top of Chinkwell Tor looking across to Honeybag Tor - Charles and David caught up with us here - delayed by the road works in Tavistock.

The view across to Hound Tor.

Then gently down and across to Holwell Down with the low sun putting a differnt perspective on Haytor













Around Greator Rocks

With Jon on top


Across to Smallacombe Rocks with Haytor behind

Down the track past the Medieval village

Next up the very steep slope up to Smallacombe Rocks for a short break and lots of pressure about whether we would make the pub on time.

Across to Haytor with Mike and Jon on top.

...and the setting sun

Finally across to Saddle Tor and Top Tor and one or two weary walkers, some desperate to get to the Rugglestone Inn.  But, no fear, we were all in the pub by 10:15.

Tonights walkers Keith, Sue, Irving, John, Jon, Mike, Charles and David
