3rd January

A dry January day, sunshiny and bright. Just two of us walking today, starting from Widecombe in the Moor. Three tors reached. A steady up ftom 800 feet to around 1350 (Bell Tor), then at 1500 ft Chinkwell Tor. A fantastic place for views of the moor. Looking across to Haytor reminded me that it was there late last year that this idea was born. We'd completed walking the Cornish South West Coast Path and were wondering what to do next. Could I climb 50 Tors in my 50th year?

We walked on to Honeybag Tor, where unusual characters seem to emerge from the rock shapes. Finding a sheltered spot - it was mighty windy on top - we enjoyed pasties for lunch. Back down into the valley and along the road to Widecombe. 

This walk was from Walks for All Ages by John Noblet, published by Bradwell Books.  We did miss one turn, but found a way to rejoin the path.  Although we missed it whilst walking, we did later find the Miolstone [K16].
