Another typical Dartmoor day - more mizzle and drizzle and some showers. We left the car park near the scout hut and headed out along the track to Ditsworthy Warren House. So what was this post with two strands flying? Almost certainly military.
Ditsworthy Warren House.
The plan was to cross the river at the weir but there was too much water...
...so it was decided to follow the in spate River Plym - past this swirly bend...
...and upwards.
If we get the forecast three inches of rain on Thursday then this will be a raging torrent on Friday!
Stopping for a break opposite Plym ford.
Then headed over Lower Hartor Tor and on to Higher Hartor Tor.
Back through Whittenknowles Rocks and the threshing bed.
We returned to the car park to find it had been taken over by the Royal Marines who appeared to be having a short break during their training exercise. Driving back we went past two other groups - so maybe the flag shown at the beginning was a marker.
On to the Royal Oak which was full to overflowing. Lunch as usual was good.
With John, Jon and Anne.
Great photos. JM :)
