Tuesday 26th September 2017 Lee Moor

A very warm autumnal morning.  First stop was Whitehill Tor sandwiched between the china clay workings to the north and south.

Below us the old settlement beds now put to good use with vast arrays of solar panels.



















Red Admiral in abundance on the ivy below the tor.

An old track through the woods to...

...Blackalder Tor

The view to the south and in the distance the newly opened tungsten mine at Hemerdon

Around a disused settlement pool.

Through the 'moonscape'



No digging

To Luxton Tor

Set above the Dartmoor landscape

Nearby is Saddlesborough Tor marked by the trig point - not much by way of rocks to be a tor.

Back to Hawks Tor....

Where in past times some clever people have swivelled aroud the top layer of the tor to form a shelter.

Down again to Collard Tor


Back down again around the edge of Wotter and across the road to the woods above Lee Moor China Clay Works


 
Lunch at the Farm Café, where this time all the orders were served on time. With Mike, Stella, Jon, Charlie and Brenda.
