Tuesday 30th October Mary Tavy

Having left my camera at home and feeling a little annoyed with myself (but phone cameras work quite well these days) we parked at the Mary Tavy Inn - starting from a pub is a good thing and down the hill we went..

...past this ornamental bicycle...

...and then on the path to Peter Tavy

Turning left up past the very tidy Methodist Church.

Then on to Smeardon Down where team discipline went a bit amiss and we split into three groups to get to the top.

Looking back down over Peter Tavy. 

The view over to Great Mis Tor, Roos Tor and Staple Tors. This was our only bit of the moor today as we were soon going back down again to Cudlipptown before turning left...

...down this old road where cars ar no longer permitted.  Roger could remember driving a Morris Minor down here in the early part of the last century!

The bridge at the bottom across the River Tavy

Autumn is definitely here.

Running a little short on time we decided to stay on the road back to the pub past this old water pump.

In the pub we were joined by an old friend, Ian Cruickshank and his daughter Kyra.  Ian  left the area in 1995 and it was good to catch up with him again after all these years.

On the walk today Terry, Harry, Charlie, Chris, Roger and Linda.
