Cornwall Holiday
Saturday 27th October 2018
We decided that today we would go over to Dartmoor for a walk. The weather forecast was looking better to the East. We made some lunch, packed out rucksacks and set off for Meldon Reservoir.
We parked up and set off. Very soon we had a hail shower! Thankfully the only one of the day. We turned away from the reservoir and followed the stream up to some trees below Black Tor and then stopped for some lunch.
After lunch we carried on up to Black Tor.
The next Tor was High Willhays - the highest point on Dartmoor.
After a stop for a hot drink and shelter from the cold wind we continued on to Yes Tor for the obligatory trig point photo!
It was very windy and cold on the top so we didn't hang around! We took the path off the top towards Black Down with a quick diversion up onto West Mill Tor as we were passing!!
On the way back down we joined a stream back to the reservoir.
It was a nice walk though it was a bit chilly but thankfully it remained dry after the initial hail flurry!
This evening we decided to try out a local pub for some dinner and then back to the cottage for some pudding and to light the fire!
Given the wind and cold we have decided that climbing is probably not the best idea.
