We set off from Sourton up past the church and out onto the open moor below the lower line of Sourton Tors.
Up to the Two Castles Trail to take the green lane which leads down to the west side of Meldon Reservoir
Looking back along the wall to wards Corn Ridge.
The end of the reservoir comes into view.
A fine view across a reservoir to Homerton Hill with Black Tor just visible in the distance.
On the dam looking down the reservoir....
......and then at the other end looking back.
Next around and almost to Vellake Corner for a coffee stop....
....with this view down the West Okement Valley. Black tor is in the distance.
Up again towards Sourton Tor stopping to look at what appeared to be an old apple crusher - and no idea as to why it has been left on this part of the moor.
Across to Sourton Tor where the military had set up a communications centre.
Down around the edge of Sourton Tor and back to the cars.
A supplementary walk to these meadows along the footpath due west of Sourton.
These meadows have been retained in a entirely natural state and without the application of any fertilisers.
Following several previous problems with service at the Fox and Hounds lunch was at the White Hart in Bridestowe. We received a warm welcome and there were no delays in serving the food.
With Anne, Laura, Brenda, Stella, Jon, Pete, Terry, Colin and Peter.
