Tuesday 20th December White Tor

A gloomy start but at least it wasn't raining!  Starting from Pork Hill car park and a good place to blow away the cobwebs - straight up to Cox Tor.

On Top for a short pause.............then down to the footpath by Wedlake..............with Bud and Brian on an easier route around Cox Tor

On to Stephen's Grave. This marks the spot where a George Stephen was buried about 300 years ago.  He lived in Peter Tavy and following a broken heart he took his own life. He could not be buried on consecrated land so he was taken to this remote spot to be buried.

Unusually, there were fresh daffodils on the stone.  Then we noticed there was a lot of grey powder around and we could only assume that someone's ashes had been scattered here very recently.

The sunshine came out for a short while and it was time for the walkers Christmas Party - with crackers......cheese.....

 ...and a nice cup of hot mulled wine...what more could any one ask for!!
