Wednesday 24th March

A cool clear night and an almost full moon as we set off from Two Bridges. One of us thought the start for the walk was in a different place and was seen speeding past the starting place.

We headed up to Crockern Tor under the moon.

On to Littaford Tor where Jon saw an Iridium flare at the appointed time at about 26 degrees. By this time he had caught up with us.  Then it was up to the top of Longaford Tor with this view towards Princetown. Next it was down to the weir.

As can be seen there is not much water coming from the hole (bottom left)

Jon and Mike decided that this needed to be sorted......

...and soon restored a proper flow.

A brief break for coffee and we went up the steeper bit to Beardown Tor. Back past the farm, through the woods and on to the Prince of Wales.

The landlady gave us a free bowl of 'spicy' hoops. In fact there were very, very spicey and we were unable to finish them.  With Mike, Peter, Pete, Jon ans Mike
