Wednesday Evening 17th August - Shell Top

We met at Blackaton Cross right on the edge of the China Clay workings. A heavy haze everywhere and muggy too.

Around Big Pond.

Views into the 'moonscapes'.



A soft sun reflected on the Big Pond

On to the open moor and up to Great Trowlesworthy Tor

Shell Top in the distance as the mist came in even more.
 
Some difficult going on the way up through the tussocks and eventually we rejoined Kevin and Raz on Shell Top where we had the coffee break.  The plan had been to admire the fireworks from afar on Plymouth Hoe. We could hear the bangs but the mist was too dense to see anything.
 
On the way down I realised that I had left my camera on top. So it was back up again to retrieve it! Kevin kindly came with me.  As we came down a second time the mist started to clear we did catch the odd glimpse of the fireworks. Much too late for the pubs.  With Jon, Raz, Stella, Terry, Kevin, Brenda and Gill.
