Tuesday 22nd August 2017 Great Mis Tor

A cool and very misty Dartmoor as we set out for Four Winds.

Little Mis Tor emerges out of the mist

On to Great Mis Tor, spectacular views from here but not today


We headed down to the River Walkham and the small weir created for the take off of water for the Grimstone and Sortridge leat. The water in the leat creates the illusion that it is flowing uphill! A coffee break here.

The view back up the valley as the mist starts to lift. The bleak and remote landscape so typical of Dartmoor

We headed downstream

The view through to Merrivale

Somehow several of us inadvertently detached ourselves from the main group below.

Looking back to Merrivale with the quarry and Staple Tors
 
Lunch in the Dartmoor Inn at Merrivale and with a wait of over an hour for food it is unlikely we will be returning any time soon. With Jane, Bill, Charlie, Nat, Terry, Jon, Tylo, John, Sue, Keith, Tom, Brenda and Anne
