Tuesday 6th August White Tor

After the heavy rain of the last two days we had perfect walking conditions, bright sunshine, not too hot, not too cold and a gentle breeze.

Starting from Pork Hill car park we took an indirect route up to Cox Tor to avoid the steepest part.

Across to Great Mis Tor.

Then over Cox Tor and down to the enclosed land and...

...the footpath through the middle.

Up the other side to...

...Stephen's grave.

Up again to Little White Tor and on to...

...White Tor.

Past the ponies...

...with excellent views into the moor and....

 ...time for some refreshment.

Across to Roos and Staple Tor.

We went down toward the Standing Stone but as the farmer was herding cattle towards us we were forced to change direction and that....

...took us through a very boggy area but...

...soon we came out on the ridge which was a lot firmer under foot.

 We nearly trod on this little chap!

















On to Roos Tor for lunch.

The walk was to continue along the ridge and over Staple Tors but we had to leave early and...

...cut down past the dewpond and back to the car park which at this time of the year is always something of a honeypot.

With Roger, Chris, Brian, Amber, Colin, Charlie and Linda
