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...

Next to the waterfall for lunch.

Back to Postbridge.

With Charlie, Jim, Colin and Amber.

Wednesday 29th August Postbridge

A sunny afternoon but a change in the weather on Dartmoor - cool and showery.  With no one designated to lead the walk the decision was taken to go on the north route to the waterfall.

After all the rain some of  the tracks on this part of the moor are at there wettest, most muddy and slippery as they ever get.  Our route took us over Hartland Tor on to the Beehive hut and then up to the waterfall which we all crossed with some help from Jon.  Back over Broad Down and Braddon Lake.  A few small squally showers and a near full moon contributed to the atmosphere.  Time wise a longer walk than usual.  In the Prince of Wales Mike, Stella and Charles were waiting and the big debate continued about the shape of walks in the future - whatever happens it won't suit everyone!!  On the walk Liz, Anne, Jon,Tony and David.
