Wednesday Evening 22nd January Corn Ridge

A cool clear evening. Starting from near Prewley water works we headed up to the Ice Works and then across to Sourton Tors.


Next over to the 'points' to follow the track up to the bridge which goes over the River Lyd.  From here through 'Tiger Marsh' to the B17 crash site although not everyone took the direct route. The B17 came down on 25th December 1943 when 5 crew members died. After all these years nothing grows in the crater area.
From here up to Branscombe's Loaf on Corn Ridge for a cuppa and then down the steeper bit to Shelstone Tor where Jon and Mike climbed on the Logan to prove it still moved.

A short walk back to the cars and to the Bearslake Inn which was closed. So next to the Fox and Hounds where the rather unfriendly barman announced that he had closed the till for the night.  Somewhat reluctantly however, he did serve us.

With Jon, Mike and Pete
