Today the WAGs group had a meeting, to start planning for the 2022 Dartmoor Walking Festival. We had our meeting in the Hatherleigh Village Hall, where we stayed to have our lunch. After lunch we drove to the Devon Wildlife Trust site, at Meeth Quarries.

Gill and I abandoned the walk early, as the rough tracks were too much for me. So the rest of the group went to explore the 3rd Quarry, while we made our way back to the car park.

After a drink sat in the van, we decided to head back to one of our favourite stops for a meal. It was the first time I have had to complain about a meal, but top marks to the way it was dealt with. The staff at the Twisted Oak are always friendly and helpful,
