Tuesday 13th September Widecombe Fair

Our second annual walk to Widecombe Fair. Wet to start with as we headed up to Grimspound, around pas the Blue Jug to follow the path which runs along the eastern side of Hamel Down. Last time we were here it was easy going but with the bracken over six feet high it was hard going. At least the rain had stopped.

Approaching Wooder Goyle Rocks.

Down the steep track to the fair.  A huge clap of thunder as we arrived. Much to see and do.

The dog and duck show.

Ferret racing

After a couple of hours and refreshments it was back up the steep track to return on the Two Moors Way.

A brief stop at Hamel Down Cross.

Finally back down to Grimspound.
