Denys has accurately directed us to the Haddon Hill CP | |
Where we have fine views of Wimbleball Lake | |
A spot of rain to cheer us up | |
We head off across the hill | |
A rainbow across the valley, Exmooor ponies in front | |
Now heading downhill | |
The moor covered with heather and gorse | |
A pause as we cross a lane | |
Before reaching a dam | |
Where we look across the lake | |
Then continue down | |
To Hartford and Hartford Bottom | |
Following the river Hadloe with its fisheries | |
As it flows down the valley | |
We take a break on the river bank | |
Then continue into Bury | |
Past the old school | |
One way to cross the river | |
But we have another | |
Looking back as we reach the other side | |
And say goodbye to two of our party who have decided to take a shortcut back | |
Continuing to Moorbath we find a plaque in the church commemorating the village chronicler - Read more | |
Some colourful stained glass windows | |
Having been provided with tea and biscuits by the ladies of the church we take our leave | |
And head uphill | |
After some anxious moments in the forest when we appear to have lost the Chairman, he appears in the darkness | |
We pass isolated cottages. | |
Views across the valley | |
A pause at another church | |
Where Tim finishes his lunch | |
Before we return across the moor to the cars. |
