Wednesday Morning 26th June Combestone Tor

A duller morning today but very warm and humid

We set off downhill from Combestone Tor..

...taking the track down to Combestone farm.


Following the footpath east above the River Dart valley - ahead of us on the other side of the river is Mel Tor where we were yesterday.

On towards Bench Tor but first...

...we have to go over the dam at Venford reservoir...

...which given all the rain we have had this year seemed to be surprisingly low.

Then up to Bench Tor...

...with fine views over the River Dart

Back towards the far end of the reservoir and over this unusual section of a leat.

Just a bit up and down around the reservoir.

Then over the open moor looking for a stone row, which doesn't appear to be there, before arriving at Horn's Cross and a short walk down to the cars.

A good lunch in the Forest Inn at Hexworthy.  With Ian
