Monday 10th September Peter Tavy

We met at Godsworthy and it wasn't meant to be like this.  It was wet.  The forecasters had got it wrong but we were prepared.  We always are.  We have a full set of waterproofs.  If only we could have been bothered to put them on we wouldn't have got really wet trousers.  Of course, one of us was properly dressed.  And so we set off , around and up to Stephen's Grave.

We took this track down towards Cudlipptown....

...and then like the Duke of York,  just before we got there, we went back up again but by a different route.

Just as we thought the sun was going to come out and dry our trousers we arrived at the Peter Tavy Inn for lunch and good it was too.  Its just that when we came out...

 ...we had another long hill to go up to get back to the cars.  But, this is Dartmoor, where you have to expect this.  Up and down a lot.  And the rain.

There can be no doubt however, that we all felt much better for the whole experience, but thats what it is all about a good walk and good company and the world feels a better place.  With Chris, Roger, Rosemary, Terry and Charlie.
