Tuesday 25th October - Bellever

Lots of fog and mist as we drove over Dartmoor to Postbridge.  The plan had been to walk out to the waterfall on the East Dart but the heavy rain meant that it would probably have been difficult to get across the river so we took the other route out to Bellever Tor.

Initially through the woods.

Then out on to the open moor.

Around the edge of the woods and past the cist.

Gently up to Bellever Tor as the mist started to melt away

Back over Bellever

Towards Princetown

South towards Ter Hill. On Bellever Tor we met a German family out walking for the day with nothing more than a guide book and also a lady from Denmark walking back to Princetown without map or a book. We gave them the best directions we could but were just relieved that the forecast was good for the rest of the day - otherwise there would be a very good chance of them getting completely lost!

Then across to Laughter Tor with Hamel Down in the distance.

Down the hill to the track.

Back towards Bellever and the East Dart river.

Autumn in all it glory

Up the steeper bit to the track back....

...to Postbridge.

On to the Prince of Wales all decked out and ready for Halloween with spiders descending at random from the ceiling. An excellent lunch as usual.
