Tuesday 25th March A Local Walk

A very local walk today.  Nice bright sunshine and warm - the cold wind of the last few days having gone away.  Starting from the Leaping Salmon, one of two pubs in the village.


Up the lane past the Old School, now a Bed and Breakfast Guest House.

Looking back across the valley to Roborough Down - and home.

Through the trees around the old mine workings.
 

Then on to the lane past this rather attractive old barn. Planning permission, some tlc and this could be worth some money!

Out on to the moor.

Over Plaster Down, through the ford and...

...a view of Pew Tor.

Into the hamlet of Sampford Spiney where the alpacas live.

With a break for cookies and a glass of wine -  Roger has a birthday tomorrow.

Then back through the fields.


A short walk on the road.....






















...past some storm damage...

...and back to the village.

Lunch for all except Linda and me in the Leaping Salmon. With Terry, Rosemary, Colin, Roger, Chris and Linda
