On Top for a short pause.............then down to the footpath by Wedlake..............with Bud and Brian on an easier route around Cox Tor
On to Stephen's Grave. This marks the spot where a George Stephen was buried about 300 years ago. He lived in Peter Tavy and following a broken heart he took his own life. He could not be buried on consecrated land so he was taken to this remote spot to be buried.
Unusually, there were fresh daffodils on the stone. Then we noticed there was a lot of grey powder around and we could only assume that someone's ashes had been scattered here very recently.
On top of White Tor
