Tuesday 23rd July Harford Moor Gate

It was supposed to be the day after the heatwave and to be fair it was a bit cooler at first and a moody mistiness as we set off from the car park taking the foot path up to...

...Spurrell's Cross as the sun started to break through off the moor.

We followed the path up to Beacon Rocks on Ugborough Beacon.

Our next destination was Butterdon Hill and Western Beacon but first we went over to...

...the Cairns and then down to...

...Creber's Rock.

On to Butterdon Hill and the view north towards Sharp Tor and Three Barrows.

Roger and Chris coming up  Western Beacon with Butterdon Hill behind.

We had our picnic in the quarry on Western Beacon with this view over Ivybridge. By now the mistiness had gone and the heatwave was back - it was hot in the sun!

Then down...

...past some very, very black sheep...

...with the ridge line of Penn  Beacon and Shell Top in the distance.

We picked up the old rail track for a short while before cutting down to...

  ...Butter Brook below the reservoir in the trees...

...to the ford.

With Charlie, Roger and Chris - Terry is on his charity walk around the Cornish coast.
