The plan today was to reconnoitre two possible short routes, for the Walking Festival. We met at Pork Hill car park, on the road between Princetown and Tavistock. the first route was on Whitchurch Common, south of the carpark. Due to the difficulty of the route, it took a lot longer to complete. Therefore the second route north of the car park, up to Cox Tor, was left for another day. Gill and I left home early so that we had a lovely Breakfast, at the Old Police Station Cafe, in Princetown on the way.
While upto 90% of the route was good, the difficult bits were very difficult. We tried to find a route to the west of Pew Tor, but had to turn round and take the path to the east of Pew Tor. Although we managed to find a route, short sections were so difficult, it’s not suitable to be included in the walking festival.
All 5 of us on mobility scooters went up on 2 wheels, a few times today. But luckily no one tipped over.
Despite the cold wind when we got back to the car park, some of us enjoyed an ice cream from the van.
Gill and I as usual stopped off at the Twisted Oak, for our evening meal.
