Saturday 21st December Great Staple Tor

Very heavy rain overnight which cleared mid morning.  James was keen to walk out from Pew Tor.

We headed up to the little quarry where George was happy to pose.

 Then he decided he would have a swim - far too cold for any one else.

 Up to view Little Pew Tor...

...and over to Pew Tor.

 Down to the track with King Tor and Foggintor in the distance.

Vixen Tor and the area where no one is now allowed to go.  Very boggy at the bottom and James went in knee deep! The moor is completely saturated by the heavy rain falling in the last week

Around to the other side of Vixen Tor which looks a little unreal in the mist.

Then over Merrivale where we crossed the main road.














Up the steeper bit to Great Staple Tor where the wind was much stronger and cooler. The cloulds were blowing in and out at this point.

On to Cox Tor and a moment when the cloud had gone. Pew Tor is in the distance.

Vixen Tor is just about visible.

Back past the Bullseye Stone and George is just a bit dirty now.













The Bullseye Stone next to Windy Post.
