Tuesday 6th June 2017 Manaton

A morning of sunshine and showers. Out from the cricket ground and church, but a new route through the wall to get on to the track.

Up to Manaton Rock with this fine view across to Hay Tor on the left and Bowerman's Nose on the right. 

For the most part our route was the same as on previous walks except for the walk down to Foxworthy and of course it's always good to find a new path.

Up past Peck Farm with the award winning longhorn cattle.

To Hunters Tor to get down behind the wall and out of the wind for a coffee break.

Then along the ridge and steeply down to the Old Clam bridge. For years the old bridge has been barricaded off to try and prevent people from crossing. Recently the rails have been re-furbished and the bridge has re-opened.

Finally the steeper bit back up to Water and to the Kestor Inn for lunch. With Mike, Stella, Amber and Brenda
