Just off the track is Shadyback Tor (207).
On to Little Trowlesworthy Tor (208)
Between Little Trowlesworthy and Great Trowlesworthy Tor is this hugh millstone which someone took hours to make which has just been abandoned.
Great Trowlesworthy Tor (209)
Next stop was Shell Top in the far distance....
...around the end of this murky patch of water...
...and eventually Shell Top (210)
...with the China Clay workings behind.
Then down the hill to...
...Penn Beacon (211) where we stopped for lunch...
...observing the clay workings. Started in 1831 and now huge holes in the ground.
There is something about these which are ugly and attractive at the same time.
Down again to Rook Tor (212) not really a tor just some large lumps of granite.
Amber thought that one of the teeth in this sheeps skull might just fit the hole left by Colin's recent extraction!
Nearby lots of evidence that wild boars are in the area with the ground ripped up as they dig for the roots.
So what are they looking at - newts and tadpoles of course!
Finally on to Hexton Tor (213)
Just one bit of water to cross - very carefully.
