Just three of us for the walk today from the Fox and Hounds. Out to Nodden Gate and along the old tramway which runs around Great Nodden. To the points and up towards Great Links Tor. Where the track crosses the River Lyd we decided to visit the crash site in Tiger Marsh. To do this you have to go through the boggy bit. From here it was over Gren Tor before re-joining the tramway. Across to Great Links, then Dick's Well and down between Brat and Arms Tor to the ford below Nodden Gate. No time for a pub lunch today. With Tom and Charlie.
Nodden Gate
The old tramway around Great Nodden.
The crash site at Tiger Marsh where a B17 came down on Christmas day in 1943.
Since I was last here a lot more wreckage has become exposed - the white bits are aluminium which was melted in the heat.
64 years after the crash and still nothing grows where the plane came down.
Approaching Great Links Tor
The view across to..... Hare Tor...
...and Chat Tor
Through the ford at the end.
