Tuesday 27th November Combestone Tor

A cool dull day as we set off downhill from Combestone Tor towards Combestone Farm past this renovated dry stone wall.

Then taking the green lane out and back on to the moor...

...which, of course was very wet...

...on in to the woods to the track built above the water pipe from Venford Reservoir.

Lucky Tor and the River Dart below...

...and Bench Tor ahead.

First over the dam at Venford Resevoir with this rather complicated overflow contraption.


Up to Bench Tor

Sunshine over the sea to the south but not on Dartmoor.

With fine view over the River Dart Valley and Mel Tor on the other side.


Back to the Reservoir and up the other side to Holne Moor.


Up and up towards Holne Ridge before turning north and back to Combestone Tor.

Past Horn's Cross.

Then on to the Church Inn which has a new and very friendly landlord.  The food was excellent.

With Chris, Roger, Charlie, Rosemary and Terry.
