Wednesday 7th November Dunnabridge Pound

A grey sort of morning as we set off from Dunnabridge Pound. John gave details of the mining activities...

...and we headed up to the sheep fold just before Laughter Tor

Across to Bellever Tor.

Then in to where the trees used to be as it got a bit brighter.

Back towards Bellever Tor...

...to admire the view.

Looking back at Laughter Tor.

A little toad on route...

...and before we knew it we were back at the pub.  With Tom, John, Jon, Mike, Anne, Ian, Helen and Bill

Tuesday 2nd October Bellever Forest

Three of us today with four of the team on holiday.  A mixed bag of weather - better than forecast with just one shower before the heavier rain later in the day.

Starting from Dunnabridge Pound just inside the gate is a canopied seat made from a large piece of granite.  It is believed that this was moved from Crockern Tor where it had previously been used as a table at meeting of the Stannary Parliament.

We walked across to Laughter Tor...

 ...just before is this large standing stone.

From Laugher Tor towards Bellever Tor...

...and nearby you can see where an old cross used in the wall

Two military helecopters were buzzing around and below us - now thats a real job.

Down from Laugher Tor and back on to the track.

Then around to Bellever...

No cross roads here just a Y junction....

...and back to Bellever Tor...


 ...where we got a few glimpses of sunshine

 Towards Hamel Down...

...Princetown...

 ...and Fernworthy Forest

With Charlie and Brian and in the pub Bud and Brian.
