I haven't done this walk for a while. It was beautiful sunny day with hardly any clouds in the sky.Starting from the car park at Lane End - I walked up to the leat and followed it into Tavy Cleave.
There were some ponies coming the other way.
The water is running towards the camera but this leat always looks like the water is flowing uphill, of course that can't happen!
This is the point at which the leat comes off the River Tavy.
There hasn't been any rain for a couple of weeks and the water levels on the river have gone right down.
Sharp Tor and Tavy Cleave Tors stand high above the valley.
Looking back down
Amicombe Hill ahead and the going gets a little tricky.
Looking back down the valley.
My route was to take me up and out of the valley so that I could return on the higher ground. On the left is fur Tor in the middle are the range huts and the valley is the higher part of the River Tavy.

Ger Tor..
..and finally the car park at the bottom.
