Tuesday 2nd January 2018 - Peat Cot

A very wet start for the first walk of the new year. We set out from Peat Cot with the rain coming in sideways from a strong cooling breeze.

Out along the track and past Nun's Cross with the farm just visible in the photo.

The ground is totally saturated after the many winter storms. Gently up past one of the boundary stones.....

....to Eylesbarrow. Then down to the remains of the old tin mine for the coffee stop.

Along the track which leads past Plym Ford.....

.....then over the hill to the restored little cross (Northmore's Cross) as the rain stopped and the clouds lifted just a little

A very slight diversion to the inscribed cross lower down the hill.

Then across the leat, through the ford and back around Nun's Cross Farm.
 
As ever a fine lunch in the very quiet Prince of Wales. With Jon, Mike, Stella, Brenda, Charlie, Colin, Amber and Bill

  1. This is such a great post! Winter walks can be challenging, especially if the weather isn't on your side. But even in the fog and rain, Dartmoor is such a wonderful and beautiful place, it's ideal for really blowing away any of those January blues with some fresh air!

  2. So much admiration for you all! Great that you stuck with the walk despite the British weather. And some lovely shots of the beautiful devon landscape nonetheless!
