So off we went from the car park at Combestone Tor...
...gently up the track to Horn's Cross.
Past the locals - but didn't cause any trouble.
Then, as expected, we were at the top of Ryders Hill and not a view in sight!
From here we headed across to the old tin workings at Hooten Wheals - up and down through the old girts dating from the 16th and 17 centuries. The workers digging these out had a hard life.
Aroud the capped off top of an old mine...
...on to Hooton Wheals. This part was in use from1890 until 1920.
In amongst all this the gorse had come back into flower.
Back to the cars - not too far from here - slipping and sliding on the very wet ground.
Walking today Paul, Carol, Roger, Terry, Rosemary and Linda
marvellous photography mister
