Very wet and very windy was the order for the day. Starting from the pay and display car park in Bellever.Out along the track which leads to Laughter Hole House.
Through the woods....
...and as we came out of the woods we turned left to go down to the East Dart. Very boggy underfoot in places.
Eventually we arrived at the stepping stones. The plan had been to come across from the other direction. Jon, Terry and some of the dogs went across.
Brenda told us a story about slugs and we stopped for coffee.
Olive panicked and got stuck on the stepping stones on the way back from the other side. Bill had to go to her rescue.
Then up the proper track and back to where we had been an hour before. We took the same track out of the woods but this time we turned right to go up to Laughter Tor. The rain was heavy and accompanied by a strong wind.
Looking across to Bellever Tor
So down and around and back into the woods. Out the other side and up to Bellever Tor and finally back to the cars.
Lunch was in the East Dart Hotel at Postbridge. Not my favourite place, but we received a warm welcome, the food was ok and delivered efficiently. The wood burner looked warm and cosy but it wasn't giving out any heat!
With Brenda, Stella, Ann, Jane, Ann (on her first walk with us), Jon, Roger, Terry, Charlie and Bill.
