Tuesday 23rd August - Roos Tor

A grey day again but apart from a few spots there was no rain. A circular route out to Roos Tor and White Tor to find and pick mushrooms.

From Pork Hill car park and up to Middle Staple Tor.

Across to Great Staple Tor

Back to Pew Tor...












...Vixen Tor

..across to Cox Tor












 From Great Staple Tor across to Mary Tavy

Next on to Roos Tor with White Tor in the distances

On Roos Tor 'I'm the king of the castle now - this stone rocks!'

 The view across to Great Mis Tor

Then on to the wall corner 










looking back at Great Mis Tor and Roos Tor

Up to the battle scarred standing stone with Great Mis Tor in the background










On top of White Tor looking across to Lynch Tor with Fur Tor and Cut Hill in the far distance - proper Dartmoor out there.

Across to Tavy Cleave with Great Links Tor in the distance

Then down to Stephen's Grave

Through a wet bit to the short footpath through the enclosed land.


Then a bit of climb up to the dew pond with Roos Tor behind

...and back to the cars for lunch in the Dartmoor Inn at Merrivale - some of the food was ok but you couldn't say that about the service!  Might give that one a miss in future.

Oh, and the mushrooms - loads and loads apparently on a previous walk at this time of the year - but this time there were none!   But, we still had a good walk!

Walking today Linda, Charlie, Roger, Carol, Terry, Rosemary and Harry




Finally a team photo from the Tuesday Walker's BBQ on Sunday
