14th February

A St. Valentine day ramble just north of Burrator Reservoir. We started off in the dry, up Sharpitor (415m), then a scramble and climb up Leather Tor (390m). Just beyond, the weather changed to light rain. We found Lower Leather Tor (361m), and from there could see the reservoir. 
We were looking for Lowery Tor too, but couldn't work out quite where it was. Gradually the weather was closing in. With one more we hoped to reach, we headed North West towards Peek Hill. And then, on the way we spotted another outcrop, which we were able to identify as Lowery Tor (367m). Dodging the dampest bits od ground, we continued up Peek Hill, from where there was no peek at all - we were completely in mist. Very glad of gps signal as we headed back to the car!
