A slightly earlier start for an extended evening walk from Postbridge. There being no tourists around we decided to cross the Clapper Bridge and just for a change this is a view of the road bridge.
Out to Hartland Tor looking back to Postbridge and Bellever.
Sittaford Tor - our destination - is in the far distance.
Whilst the moor is relatively dry there the bog cotton is everywhere.
A new arrival
The twin stone circles of Grey Wethers come into view.
Looking north with Cosdon Hill in the far distance.
We looked for the newly discovered stone circle but after some research I now think it is between Grey Wethers and Fernworthy forest
Up to the top of Sittaford for a coffee break and then across to Stats House which is just visible on the horizon. Below in the bottom of the valley is the wet bit!
The remains of Stats House.
Then across to the north-western end of Sandy Hole Pass.
The sun disappears below the horizon in an almost cloudless sky.
Then into the East Dart where at least we received a friendly welcome although the place itself is in desperate need of some refurbishment.. With Mike and Stella.
Hi Michael,
ReplyDeleteThe stone row is about 100m from Sittaford Tor, roughly on a bearing from the tor to Sandy Hole Pass.There are a couple of photos here: http://4windsnavigation.blogspot.co.uk/
The William Donaghy Memorial is a challenging find on the SW slopes of Hartland Tor. Let me know if you want the grid ref of either.
