Tuesday 13th August Sittaford Tor

Cloudier and cooler today.  Starting at Postbridge, a 'honeypot' at this time of the year with two coaches already and it's only 10.00 in the morning.

The usual routine is that the coach party gets out of the coach, walks 100 yards to go over the clapper bridge and then get back on the coach ready for the next stop!

We set off towards the house known Hartyland...

...and up to Hartland Tor...

 ...where Charlie finds a letterbox.

Sittaford Tor in the distance our next destination.

First to the Grey Wethers and the restored stone circles.

Over Sittaford Tor and on towards Stats House.

Around a boggy bit.

Sittaford Tor behind us...

...and Stats House.

Next to the waterfall for lunch.

Back to Postbridge.

With Charlie, Jim, Colin and Amber.

Tuesday 6th March Waterfalls

Starting from Postbridge we took the path out past Hartyland...

...and up to Hartland Tor  (67)....

...from Hartland Tor with Sittaford Tor in the distance

Along the ridge to cross the stream just below the Beehive Hut

Past this lovely little waterfall on Winney's Down Brook.














To the waterfall on the East Dart River a place you can never ever tire of visiting.  Not a spectacular waterfall but beautiful in its own way and one of my favourite places on Dartmoor.

Looking back down the valley we came up with Fernworthy forest in the distance.

A diversion from the usual route to the Tor on Broad Down (68).  This is next to the wall junction and not a tor in the normal sense just a low flat rock - you can't see unless you are next to it.  But, it is in the book so it counts!

From here down to Braddon Lake shown just below in the photo which looks across to Postbridge.  No lake here just a bit of a wet area.

 Hartland Tor now on the other side of the river and back to Postbridge.

Lunch in the East Dart Hotel with stale bread, a cold room and a barman with a strange attitude - don't think I will be back there in a hurry!

Walking, Paul, Rosemary, Terry, Charlie, Roger, Carol, Colin, Amber and Linda
