Tuesday 8th September - To Widecombe Fair

Very cool and misty as we headed up to Grimspound for the start of our walk.

Up and over the moor past the RAF Memorial.  This was the view with Hay tor in the distance and Chinkwell Tor in the middle as the cloud started to lift. Down the other side to the road.

We followed the road for a while before taking the steep climb up between Honeybag and Chinkwell Tor.

From Chinkwell Tor looking across to Hay Tor...

....and back towards Hamel Down.

Then it was down to the annual fair in Widecombe.

Good to see that Uncle Tom Cobley...

 ...and All were there too!

A Cornish folk group were performing in the beer tent.

After time to explore and suitable refreshments we took the steep climb back up to Hamel Down - Chinkwell Tor in the distance.

 Past the little memorial cross.























Flat across the top of Hamel Down.

And finally back down to Grimspound
