Tuesday 12th July Lopwell

Starting on Roborough Down not far from the Dartmoor Diner. A very heavy shower at the start which went on for some time. We took the permissive path through the main entrance to Maristow Estates and walked very gently down hill.

The path brings you out almost at Lopwell Dam where school children were having fun in the canoes. A short coffee stop here before....

....following the river to.... 

...the lookout area near Blaxton Quay where we had our picnic lunch. Looking across to Bere Ferrers.

Then it was again through the woods along side Blaxton Creek, through Blaxton and up the much steeper path to Pound. We followed the road for a short distance and then...

...re-joined the original path we had taken on the way out to return to the cars.

A slightly longer walk than usual but we made good time given that we were mainly on good tracks.  With Charlie, Terry, Roger, Darren, Dianne, Anne and Brenda.
