Eight of us for a walk on a fine sunny morning. From Cold Aston, around Folly Farm. On to Notgrove and almost to Salperton and then to Hazleton and Turkdean. 10 miles with 900 feet of ascent. After the recent rain it's good to see the grass starting to go green again.
From Adlestrop following the Diamond Way to Chasleton. On to Cornwell Manor and church then returning through Daylesford Farm. 6.5 miles and 500 feet ascent. Warm dry morning.
The bus stop with the original sign removed from the railway sation when it closed in the 60's
It had been intended to do a 7 mile walk but because of the forecast temperatures it was decided to do only 5 miles. From the small car park at the top of Bushcombe Lane, through Bushcombe Wood to pick up the Winchcombe Way and down near Gotherington Halt. Then up to Dixton Hill, through Far Stanley and up again beside the Prescott Hill climb. Finally past Wickfields Farm and back
Back with my old friends for the annual walk to Fur Tor starting from Postbridge. Much cooler than yesterday with some light rain on the way out. The ususal route through Sandy Hole Pass and over Cut Hill. Remote Dartmoor at it's best, returning the same way. 10.5 miles with 1500 feet ascent.
