Then dropping gently down the valley to a little stream which flows into the Red-a-ven Brook. Back along the other bank to join and follow the Red-a-ven Brook upwards.
Eventually emerging on the open moorland north west of West Mill Tor.
Yes Tor in the distance.
Looking back down the higher part of the Red-a-ven Brook as the sun got lower in the sky.
Through the boggy bit - where the bog cotton grows well at this time of the year.
The sky started to break out below the bank of cloud.
Then a direct line up the much steeper bit to Yes Tor.
We arrived at the top of Yes Tor as the sun finally broke out below the cloud bank.
We had been sheltered from the wind coming up on the leeward side of the Tor. Once on top in the exposed wind it was much cooler and everyone rapidly applied additional layers. A few spots of rain and the Dartmoor mist started to roll in over High Willhays.
We returned to the leeward side of the Tor for our coffee break. West Mill Tor in the distance.
Taking a direct line we were soon down again and as darkness descended over the reservoir
Our appointed pub for the evening was the Bearslake Inn but it was closed and so it was on to the Fox and Hounds.
With Mike, Stella, Brenda, Jon, Kevin, Pete and Terry.
